A youth has been arrested and charged in relation to a burglary in Pukete on Wednesday.

The burglary happened at around 2:20am on Wednesday morning at a restaurant on Church Road.

Two youths in a stolen vehicle smashed a glass door and took around 35 bottles of alcohol and 17 electronic tablets before fleeing the scene.

Police were notified later that morning, and a scene examination was conducted. Upon receiving CCTV, fast working officers identified and arrested one of the offenders the following morning.

The stolen vehicle was recovered, and all the tablets have been returned to the victim.

A 16-year-old appeared in the Hamilton Youth Court Thursday afternoon charged with burglary and unlawfully using a motor vehicle.
