Two people charged with multiple shoplifting
offences
The 'Shoplifting Expo' held in Kerikeri
recently has paid dividends.
Following the expo, which
looked at prevention initiatives and detection techniques, a
business in Waipapa recognised some shoplifters yesterday
and called police.
A 22-year-old man and 35-year-old woman
have been charged with multiple shoplifting offences and a
burglary in Kaikohe where a quad bike was stolen.
The pair
has been remanded in custody to appear in the Kaikohe
District Court today.
Far North Area Prevention Manager
Senior Sergeant Chris McLellan says this result came about
due to some excellent work done by the business in
Waipapa.
"This arrest shows that the 'Shoplifting Expo'
has already paid dividends and we've had some great feedback
from businesses thanking us for supporting them in
preventing this
crime."

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
