Driver caught with pie on his face
A driver succeeded in eluding police who pursued him from Kaitaia to Duncan's Rd in the early hours of Friday morning, but he only gained a reprieve. One of the police officers had spotted him eating a pie at a service station some time earlier, CCTV cameras providing a very nice picture of him.
The Little Mermaid to make a splash in Huanui
