Drunk dad caught driving home from Chch with 'young children' in car
The man said he had been drinking whisky the night before and finished at 9pm. A dad who was four times over the legal alcohol limit drove more than 300km from Christchurch with two ''young children'' before being caught by police. Police were alerted to a southbound vehicle being driven erratically on State Highway 1 north of Dunedin at about 9.50am yesterday. The vehicle was swerving and weaving between the lanes, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said. It was stopped by police on Main Rd, Waikouaiti, and behind the wheel was a 43-year-old man travelling back from Christchurch. Two ''young children'' were also in the car for the 320km journey which can take around four hours. The man recorded a breath alcohol level of 952mcg — almost four times the legal limit for adults of 250mcg of alcohol per litre of breath. ''He said he'd been drinking whisky the night before and finished at 9pm,'' Snr Sgt Bond said. The man's licence was suspended and he was summonsed to appear in the Dunedin District Court on August 8.

Police Locate Offender After Unit Rammed
Press Release – New Zealand Police Police have been investigating since the incident occurred during a traffic stop in Mt Wellington at around 2.20am on 8 July. An Auckland man faces a slew of charges after allegedly repeatedly ramming a Police vehicle in the early hours of Tuesday. Police have been investigating since the incident occurred during a traffic stop in Mt Wellington at around 2.20am on 8 July. Relieving Counties Manukau East Area Commander, Inspector Rakana Cook, says the stolen vehicle was seen running a red light near Carbine Road. 'One of our frontline units signalled this vehicle to stop, and after driving erratically it came to a stop,' he says. 'It's at this point the four-wheel drive was allegedly used to repeatedly ram our patrol vehicle before fleeing the scene.' Fortunately, no Police staff were injured. A determined Police investigation was soon underway with positive lines of enquiry on the driver. 'Our enquiries led a team of Police to an address on Puhinui Road in Papatoetoe yesterday evening, locating the person of interest,' he says. 'The man attempted to flee on foot from our staff but he was all out of options.' The 44-year-old man was arrested. Inspector Cook says the man faces serious charges in the Manukau District Court today. Those charges include two counts of assault with a blunt instrument, resisting Police, failing to stop, unlawfully taking a vehicle and reckless driving. 'We have no tolerance for such reckless and violent behaviour directed at our staff,' Inspector Cook says. 'I'd like to acknowledge our staff involved who were going about their duties in keeping our community safe.'
