A car load of teens allegedly trying to evade police crashed into another car at a busy Rotorua intersection.
Police swooped on the car, with six teenagers inside, at the intersection of Lake and Old Taupo Rds about 11am today.
Senior Sergeant Malcolm Collins said a person contacted police after seeing people acting suspiciously in a car in the Te Ngae area this morning.
Mr Collins said police found the car abandoned in Te Ngae and discovered another car nearby had been stolen.
A short time later, a police traffic officer saw that car on Lake Rd and followed it.
