They were first called to reports of dangerous driving in the seaside suburb of New Brighton around 2pm yesterday.
Newstalk ZB's Anastasia Hedge says after a brief pursuit - police initially abandoned the chase.
She says they later found the car and arrested two occupants.
The third managed to take another vehicle - hitting a police dog van and fatally striking a pedestrian.
Police are looking for 21-year-old Liam Strickland - who they say has tattoos on his cheek and forehead.
