A high-speed chase between Hutt Valley and Wellington ended with the arrest of three teens early this morning.
The drama unfolded when police attempted to stop a suspected stolen vehicle in Stokes Valley at 2am, Sergeant Pete Theobald said.
The driver fled from police, leading them on a 25 minute chase down State Highway 1 into Wellington, reaching speeds of up to 140kmh.
The chase ended in Ngauranga Gorge when the 17-year-old driver stopped and ran off on foot.
A police dog helped find him a short time later.
