The two occupants of that vehicle then jumped into the other vehicle, which took off.

They continued to speed on the motorway towards Waitematā West then left the motorway and travelled through Massey and Henderson, before being spiked on Pomaria Rd.

All six people in the vehicle then fled and tried to escape into a nearby reserve.

However, police were able to take them all into custody using the Police Eagle helicopter and a dog unit.
