Campbell Park Estate, in the Waitaki Valley.
Offenders in a ute rammed a police car and three farm gates as they tried to flee officers at a rural Otago estate, before their vehicle became bogged down. The drama unfolded at Campbell Park Estate on Special School Rd, between Kurow and Duntroon, after reports of a person stealing fuel from a pump at a property on Tuesday, at 3.20am. That report came after a spate of rural burglaries in the area, Sergeant Tony Woodbridge said. Two Oamaru-based officers arrived but the occupants of the white Toyota ute rammed their car and fled around the estate.
Joshua Chellew reached speeds of 130kmh and hurled firewood, bricks, glass bottles, and even a meth pipe at a patrol car as he attempted to flee police.
