A driver fleeing from Dunedin police managed to lose pursuing officers by running away on foot.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police attempted to stop a driver in Kenmure Rd on Monday at 9.43pm.
The driver of the vehicle failed to stop for police and drove off, with police pursuing him.
After a short distance, the driver stopped and ran away on foot, losing police in the process.
Cordons were put in place in Kenmure Rd but the driver was not found, Snr Sgt Bond said.
Police were still trying to identify the driver.
About the same time, in Queens Dr, patrolling officers stopped a 21-year-old man after he was checked driving a vehicle at 97kmh in the 50kmh zone.
His licence was suspended for 28 days and he was issued an infringement notice.
