Two people are in custody after an alleged evade incident on Hobart’s Eastern Shore today.
The driver of a white Mitsubishi Outlander allegedly evaded police about 3pm on South Arm Road, Rokeby.
The vehicle then reportedly drove dangerously and continued to evade police across the Eastern Shore.
Significant police resources were deployed to the incident and two men – a 31-year-old from Rokeby, and a 27-year-old from Granton were safely taken into custody shortly before 4pm.
The vehicle reportedly crashed into another vehicle while evading police, and a member of the public was taken to hospital with what are believed to be minor injuries.
A police vehicle was also damaged in the incident.
