"About 2.15pm, a vehicle of interest was observed in South Dunedin and was last seen on Ravenswood Road." Enquiries were ongoing to locate the vehicle and its occupants, the spokesman said. While travelling to investigate the stolen van, officers observed a nearby Subaru suddenly take ‘‘evasive action to get away from police’’.
