Arrest after 'low speed' chase

A man who allegedly had a large hunting knife and mask in his car led Whangarei police on a "low speed" chase covering about 100km before he was stopped after all four of his tyres were burst by police using road spikes.

The Hundertwasser Art Centre could see Whangarei benefit from an important alliance with Te Papa.

Miss Blades, 18, went missing while hitchhiking in 1975 and was last seen in an orange Datsun station wagon. Her body has never been found and no one has been charged in relation to her death.
