Police have arrested four people after an intense car chase that went from Auckland to Hamilton. 

A police spokeswoman said a vehicle that was reported stolen was located by police in Greenlane just before 10am on Sunday morning. 

"The driver failed to stop for police and fled," she said. 

The Herald understands the car, a blue Subaru, got on the State Highway 1 and was travelling at speeds of between 160 to 180 km/h southbound towards Hamilton.
