A man who led police on a chase through Hastings with a baby not properly secured in the front seat of his car has pleaded guilty to all charges stemming from the incident.
Charlie Ngepera, 32, appeared in Napier District Court yesterday where he entered guilty pleas to charges of kidnapping, assault, reckless driving, threatening to kill, endangering life, failing to stop and wilful damage.
The court heard today that Ngapera had had an argument with his partner that turned physical on August 2 of this year.
His partner left the address and went to the police station leaving a 15 month old infant with Ngapera.
Ngapera followed his partner to the police station and was approached by a friend of his partner's outside.
