A police pursuit through Christchurch's eastern suburbs ended in the water last night.

Police say they gave chase after a car failed to stop in Burwood around 7.15pm.

A spokesperson says the car crashed into a swamp on Travis Road.

They say nobody was injured, but three people from the car were arrested.

Two men - aged 32 and 29 - will appear in the Christchurch District Court today.

One faces charges of failing to stop, dangerous driving and driving while disqualified - and the other with driving with a suspended licence.
