Successful Night On The Streets In Flat Bush
A dodgy number plate ended one man’s run in evading his warrants to arrest.
It was part of a successful night for Police in Flat Bush after nabbing two offenders for a range of incidents.
Counties Manukau East Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Rakana Cook, says at about 1am a vehicle was stopped on Hamill Road.
“Officers noticed the number plate had been tampered with and upon speaking to the driver identified him as a wanted person.
“The man had been wanted by Police since September in relation to a number of alleged offences so it was great work by staff to arrest him and hold him to account for those offences.”
A 35-year-old man has been remanded in custody and will reappear on 11 July charged with possession of drug utensils and driving while forbidden.
Thirty minutes earlier, officers had stopped a vehicle travelling on Flat Bush School Road.
Inspector Cook says the driver was identified and found to be in breach of his bail conditions.
“A search of the vehicle also located a head torch and tools.
“A 28-year-old man was arrested for breaching bail and driving related offences.”
