Just after 10 this morning Police stopped a motorcyclist at a routine traffic check on Dennis Road in Papatoetoe.
After being approached and spoken to by the officer, the rider dismounted their motorbike, got into the empty Police car, locked it and drove off.
That sparked an extensive search, before the vehicle was found abandoned a short time later a couple of kilometres away.
The woman is likely to face a number of charges including unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
The Police car has minor damage but no Police property was stolen.
