Knock, Knock: It’s Court Calling
A man acting suspiciously around parcels at a Glen Innes property has delivered himself a court summons.
On Wednesday morning, Police received information about the man hanging around a residential unit.
Both the homeowner and neighbours reported the man had no reason to be there, Auckland City East Area Prevention Manager Inspector Rachel Dolheguy says.
“He was allegedly examining courier packages left outside the property, and neighbours had challenged the unknown man about what he was doing,” she says.
“Our staff soon got on scene and spoke with this man further, who offered unfounded reasons for being there.”
The 44-year-old man has been summonsed to the Auckland District Court for unlawfully being in an enclosed yard.
Police applaud residents’ vigilance in reporting the activity straight away.
“Courier packages are irresistible for opportunistic offenders.
“It’s great to see residents keeping an eye out for their neighbours, and taking action by reporting what has happening straight away,” Inspector Dolheguy says.
