It's been a busy 24 hours of crime in Christchurch, with police chasing down out of control youths.
They've been smashing their way into shops, fleeing police and reportedly driving on a footpath dangerously close to a woman pushing a pram.
It marks the second day in a row Christchurch police have dealt with repeated incidents- on Monday, 10 youths were arrested before dawn.
Police Association President Chris Cahill says these criminals are endangering police and civilians- and many will be repeat offenders.
"A lot of them are repeat offenders- they're literally getting apprehended and there's no secure vent for them. They're getting released again and they're back out on the streets."
