Police have arrested a second man they'd wanted after a Rotorua taxi driver was shot in a police chase last weekend
8 September 2019
The 25-year-old was arrested in Hamilton on Friday night after attempting to evade a police checkpoint.
He is charged with failing to stop for police.
Last Sunday, police say a vehicle was stolen in Hamilton and driven to Rotorua, where it was involved in a police chase that was then abandoned.
Police officers were later shot at - and a taxi driver was hit with one of the bullets.
One man was arrested as he tried to leave the city - he appeared in court on Monday.
The second man arrested is due to appear in Whakatane District Court on September 18th.
