Two men will appear in court charged with illegal street racing following a vehicle crashed near Grove Bush on Tuesday 5th November.

At around 6.50pm, Police received a report of a vehicle having crashed into a paddock after failing to make a turn at a corner on Grove Burn Road while participating in antisocial road user behaviour.

The vehicles were believed to have been travelling around three times the posted 50km/h speed limit before the crash.

Police executed simultaneous search warrants on Friday (17 Jan) at addresses in the Tuatapere and Winton areas following the November incident.

As a result, two men aged 18 and 19 were spoken to by Police and their vehicles were impounded.

The two men are due to appear in Invercargill District Court on 18 February.

Police said further charges were likely.

Police can be contacted on 111, if it is happening now, or through the 105 service for non-emergencies.
