A man has been arrested after allegedly firing shots at police and failing to stop twice in less than a month.
In July, the 27-year-old man allegedly fired shots into the air out of a car window and failed to stop in an incident near Kaitaia.
On Saturday he again failed to stop for police while driving near the Northland town of Ahipara at around 1pm, police said in a statement.
He was chased by police and the car was stopped by road spikes, before he fled on foot and was eventually caught in a forest block.
He's now facing charges in relation to possession of a firearm, resisting arrest with a firearm, burglary and failing to stop.
A 32-year-old female passenger in the car was also arrested for failing to appear on previous charges.
