Two men have appeared in court after two police pursuits across Christchurch.
Ricky Shane Stampa, 31, of Somerfield, was arrested and appeared in the Christchurch District Court on six charges relating to a police pursuit of a Toyota Starlet.
Police said road spikes had to be used several times after the chase began in Bower Ave, New Brighton, about 3.30am on Friday, before the vehicle was brought to a stop in Milton Street, Sydenham.
The police chase had been abandoned at one stage because the vehicle was being driven erratically, but police continued to track the car on a network of CCTV cameras that can be viewed at the Central Police Station.
Stampa has entered no pleas to charges of reckless driving on Bower Ave, failing to stop for the police, driving while disqualified, assaulting a police sergeant when the chase was over, resisting five police officers, and possession of a glass pipe for smoking methamphetamine.
Judge Noel Walsh refused him bail and remanded him in custody for a video-link appearance on February 4.
A second man appeared in court after a second car chase that began in Woolston early Friday.
Ethan Olegovitch Budayev was charged with failing to stop for a police officer when he was speeding, reckless driving in Milton Street, driving while disqualified, and possession of a glass pipe for smoking methamphetamine.
He was remanded for a further appearance on February 1. His bail conditions will keep him at his mother's home in Woolston each night under a curfew, and he is not allowed to consume drugs, nor drive any vehicle
