Woman steals police car in Papatoetoe
A woman has been arrested after allegedly stealing a police car in south Auckland's Papatoetoe.
The 31-year-old was riding a motorcycle when she was pulled over by officers during a routine traffic stop on Thursday.
After she was spoken to by the officer, she locked herself in the police car, and drove it away.
The car, which had firearms inside, was located more than two hours later after an "extensive search" by police.
It is expected the woman will face charges, including for unlawfully taking a motor vehicle
