Self-Served Snack Lands Man In Court

A man allegedly caught breaking into the shop at a petrol station in Glen Eden will now face court.

At about 2.30am, Police were notified of an alarm and fog cannon activation at a petrol station on West Coast Road.

A Police camera operator was then able to track a shirtless man acting in an erratic manner and eating food near the forecourt.

Waitematā West Area Prevention Manager, Acting Inspector Nick Salter, says upon arrival it was clear the business had been broken into.

“Police have arrived and the man has resisted arrest.

“He was subsequently OC sprayed, however he has then attempted to flee on foot and was apprehended by a Police dog.

“We will continue to hold such brazen offending to account.”

A 35-year-old man will appear in Waitākere District Court today charged with burglary and resisting Police.
