Two people who allegedly rammed a police vehicle in Auckland before fleeing to Hamilton have been taken into custody.Â
At around 11pm last night, Police were making enquiries in Ōtara in relation to a stolen Toyota Aqua.Â
The vehicle was spotted and the occupants proceeded to allegedly ram the police vehicle at a low-speed before driving away, said a police spokesperson.Â
It was then monitored overhead by the police Eagle helicopter and tracked for around two hours as it drove around Auckland motorways before heading south on State Highway 1 towards Hamilton where it was later stopped.Â
"The vehicle was eventually spiked near Taupiri in Waikato before it was spiked again near Hamilton," a police spokesperson said.Â
The occupants of the vehicle were taken into custody and will be referred to youth aid.Â
