A 29-year-old man has been charged with failing to stop after a pursuit through Tauranga this morning.

Police attempted to stop a vehicle at the intersection of Grace Rd and 15th Ave about 9am, a police spokeswoman confirmed.

The vehicle fled from police, heading north and police followed as the vehicle headed out to the Omokoroa area, then turned back toward Te Puna.
