"The offender has driven along the centre line of St Hill St, driven through another red light, right onto Ridgway St."
The vehicle was seen a few minutes later turning from Carlton Ave into Koromiko Rd where it hit a fourth vehicle. The driver continued left into Tawa St, colliding with a fifth vehicle before coming to a stop further down Tawa St.
"At this stage there are still possible damaged vehicles that police have not been made aware of.
