As stated by Detective Inspector Craig Sheridan:
Police have charged two people with a number of offences following an earlier serious fleeing driver incident in Manawatū.
A 34-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman have been jointly charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.
They are due to appear in the Palmerston North District Court tomorrow. Police cannot rule out further charges being laid.
Police can confirm a firearm has been recovered.
An investigation is underway to establish the exact circumstances of the incident. This will take some as Police speak to a number of potential witnesses.
An internal investigation is also underway and Police have notified the Independent Police Conduct Authority of this incident.
