Summary
Sunday night in Hawke’s Bay turned into a high-octane chase as cops pursued a car already on their radar—only to find it erupting in flames while speeding away. With tires spiked and sparks flying, the driver kept circling, taunting officers and drawing crowds of stunned witnesses. After a wild, smoke-filled dash through town, the car was finally boxed in—only for the driver to ram two police cruisers in a last-ditch escape attempt. The duo behind the wheel—a 29-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, both already wanted—were taken down without injury, but left two patrol cars battered and facing even more charges.
