Man With Warrant To Arrest Caught By Te Awamutu Police

Te Awamutu Police have arrested a man without incident who was wanted after being deemed a risk to public safety.

The 20-year-old man will appear in the Hamilton District Court on 24 September on charges of burglary, intentional damage, reckless driving and unlawful take of a motor vehicle, among others.

Police were notified of a vehicle that was stolen on 16 September, which was later involved in dangerous driving on the road.

Acting Area Commander Mary van Dongen says people that have been causing mayhem in the community can expect Police to use our resources to locate them.

“After a series of dangerous acts that led to Police issuing a warrant to arrest, we have successfully caught up with the individual and can hold him to account.”

“We consider the safety of the community in our response,” says Acting Area Commander van Dongen.

Police thank the Te Awamutu and King Country residents for their assistance in keeping their communities safe.

If you see any unlawful or suspicious activity, please contact Police immediately on 111. To report after the fact or in non-emergencies please contact us online at 105.police.govt.nz or call 105.
