A rather novel use of the police Eagle helicopter
A rather novel use of the police Eagle helicopter

The crew used the chopper's rotor wash to force a teenager back onto dry land as he tired to evade officers by running across mudflats and attempting to swim to a boat anchored off Beach Haven on Auckland's North Shore.
The youth and two companions were taken back to the police station for 'hot showers, dry clothes and a Milo'.
A 14-year-old has been charged with disorderly behaviour and possessing instruments for conversion and will appear in the Youth Court today.
Two others, aged 13 and 14, have been referred to Youth Aid.
