Woman Charged Over Apartment Burglary
Police have made arrests following an early morning burglary at a Devonport apartment building.
Two offenders were seen allegedly breaking into the Queens Parade complex just before 2am.
Waitematā East Area Response Manager Senior Sergeant CJ Miles says Police quickly deployed into the area.
“Our staff were on scene quickly and located a vehicle travelling away from the scene,” she says.
“The vehicle was stopped on Lake Road in Hauraki and its occupants were spoken to.”
A 39-year-old woman, who was a passenger, has since been charged with a raft of offences.
She will appear in the North Shore District Court today charged with burglary, possession of instruments for burglary, resisting Police and possession of methamphetamine utensils.
Another passenger taken in custody, a 27-year-old woman, had warrants for her arrest for failing to appear in court.
Police enquiries remain ongoing into the burglary.
“I’d like to acknowledge the work of our night shift team in their response,” Senior Sergeant Miles says.
“It highlights the benefits of having good quality CCTV operating around your property.”
