By Marcus Timothy,

AUCKLAND - Police are confident the Auckland officers involved in a pursuit which ended with three young men dead did everything by the book. The Police Complaints Authority is investigating after the three teenagers died when their car smashed into trees off the St Lukes off-ramp.The car was being pursued after the trio were seen drinking from a wine cask bladder in the city.

The 16-year-old driver was on a restricted licence. Police say he had driven away earlier in the evening after being ticketed for speeding. Inspector John Mitchell says the patrol officers were new in their roles, but appear to have followed procedures correctly.
