A man who allegedly drove a rental car dangerously through parts of Auckland and clipped another vehicle, has been arrested.
At 7.12pm, a Road Policing Officer clocked a Nissan Qashqai travelling at an excessive speed along the Northern Motorway from Warkworth to Auckland.
°Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ Road Policing Manager, Senior Sergeant Andrew Hawkins says a Road Policing unit clocked the vehicle travelling well in excess of the posted speed limit near Moir Hill Road.
¡°Police then gained observations on the speeding vehicle, which had been confirmed as a rental car, as it travelled south past Oteha Valley Road.
¡°It was signalled to stop near Greville Road, however it has failed to do so before clipping another vehicle and continuing to travel at high speed.¡±
Senior Sergeant Hawkins say the vehicle was then observed exiting the motorway and parking at a Hobson Street address where the driver was taken quickly into custody.
¡°Again, we are thankful there were no injuries to members of our community during this incident.
¡°This manner of driving was extremely reckless and had the potential to cause serious harm to a number of people.
¡°We hope this arrest brings reassurance to our community that we are continuing to hold those choosing to engage in this dangerous behaviour to account.¡±
A 29-year-old man was remanded in custody and will reappear in North Shore District Court on 17 June on multiple driving related charges.
