Four teenagers have been charged following an aggravated burglary that led to a chase across Auckland which ended dramatically in the central business district. 

Police said they responded to an aggravated burglary around 3.10pm on Bleakhouse Rd in Howick. 

Police soon located a Ford Ranger allegedly stolen from the address, and a fleeing driver event took place which later ended on Karangahape Rd in central Auckland.
