Three people driving a stolen car took police on a long jaunt around Northland overnight.
The pursuit started just after 10:30pm and lasted 44 minutes.
Senior Sergeant Lance Gardner says the Eagle Helicopter was eventually called in to help. It started on State Highway One near Puhoi and continued until Maungataroto.
Senior Sergeant Gardner says no one was hurt and the driver is in police custody.

Warbirds over Wanaka
Hundreds of aviation enthusiasts turned out to see some impressive aircraft in action yesterday at a preview of the Warbirds over Wanaka show this weekend. The popular event had been grounded for the past six years, partly because of Covid pandemic restrictions. This Easter weekend it returns, with a sellout crowd of more than 60,000 people set to attend today and tomorrow. Photos / George Heard
