National Party on youths arrested for hit and run

From Morning Report, 7:40 am on 28 October 2022

Christchurch police say they have arrested three youths linked to an incident where a cyclist was knocked off his bike and seriously injured by young people driving a stolen car.

It's one of three similar incidents in the city over the past week. 

Critics say the police's no-pursuit policy is the reason its taken this long to catch those involved.

An invitation to police to come on the show this morning was declined.

National Party police spokesperson Mark Mitchell spoke to Corin Dann.
