Nelson Police have arrested two men for burglary and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle after an incident in Stoke overnight.
Acting Senior Sergeant Brett Currie says
Police initially located a car in a ditch near Saxon
Field.
“While dog teams were attempting to
track the occupants of the abandoned vehicle, a report came
in that two men had entered a garage of Kingsford Drive and
stolen an electric cycle.
"It was also discovered that the abandoned car had been stolen earlier in the evening.”
“Shortly thereafter we received reports of two men riding an electric cycle in the Tahuna area."
"The men were located by dog teams at a residential Tahunanui address a short time later, along with an electric cycle.”
The two men, aged 16 and 17,
are scheduled to appear in Nelson Youth Court on 22
February.
