Bail refused for fleeing burglary accused
Bail was refused for a 32-year-old man arrested after a pursuit in which a car was allegedly driven through properties and crashed through fences.
Police said the man was taken into custody when the pursuit ended with a low impact crash on North Parade.
They opposed bail for Andrew Shaw when he appeared before Judge Noel Walsh in the Christchurch District Court yesterday on charges of burglary, driving while unlicensed, dangerous driving, and failing to stop for the police.
Police said that about 4.30am on Friday they received reports of two men breaking into a container on a building site on Eveleyn Couzins Avenue, Richmond.
When police approached, the alleged offenders fled in a vehicle and police followed for a short distance before the fleeing car crashed. The police said the car contained tools and construction equipment.
