A sighting of wanted man Taurus Christy in Maraenui this morning led to a brief police chase after he was spotted in a stolen car.
Eastern Command Centre Senior Sergeant Dan Foley said Christy, who is wanted on multiple charges including threatening behaviour, was spotted driving a car which had
earlier been reported stolen.
As he drove into the Maraenui suburb police homed in but his subsequent erratic driving, couple with it being 7.45am and children would be on their way to schools in the area, led to police pulling out of the pursuit for safety reasons.
"The car was located in Mason Ave where he abandoned it," Mr Foley said.
Police were told Christy had been seen getting into a white car which stopped nearby, and had been driven off.
"We are now seeking that vehicle and its occupants," Mr Foley said.
