Police have arrested an offender in connection with
several burglaries at retail stores in Auckland this
month.
Ongoing investigations into recent incidents
led Police this week to a 17-year-old male.
Detective
Senior Sergeant Greg Brand, of Auckland City East CIB, says
following a search warrant the male has been charged with
three counts of burglary.
These charges relate to an
alleged ram raid at a Newmarket retail store on 14
May.
Police have also charged the teenager with two
burglaries at Botany Town Centre retailers on 10
May.
He will be appearing in the Manukau Youth Court
later this month.
"The community can be sure that
Police will continue to investigate each instance of a
burglary or ram-raid style burglary occurring," says
Detective Senior Sergeant Brand.
"Our staff continue
to work hard to hold these offenders to account. Police
enquiries remain ongoing and we cannot rule out further
arrests or charges being laid as part of these
investigations."

How much political capital is Christopher Luxon willing to burn through in order to deliver his $2.9 billion gift to landlords? Evidently, Luxon is: (A) unable to cost the policy accurately. As Anna Burns-Francis pointed out to him on Breakfast TV, the original ”rock solid” $2.1 billion cost he was touting to voters last year has now blown out to $2.9 billion. (That’s a 38% size error in the calculations.) (B) unable to provide assurance that this handout won’t simply be pocketed by landlords (C) unable to explain why Treasury (in research as recent as August 2023) wasn’t citing the loss of interest deductibility as a prime factor driving up rents. More than anything, the Great Landlords Handout undermines the government’s alarmist talk about the state of the country’s books... More
