PRESS RELEASE: Security Officer’s Actions Lead to
Arrest
Friday 18 November 2005
The fast actions of a
security officer resulted in the arrest of two suspects
yesterday evening, the New Zealand Security Officers
Association reported today.
The two suspects entered a
twenty-four hour store on Gloucester Street in the city
centre at approximately 6:50 PM yesterday evening. One
suspect, a convicted thief known to local businesses,
attempted to distract the store attendant while his
accomplice selected a cask of wine and concealed it in his
jacket.
A security officer who was working in the area
observed the theft and immediately called the police. She
then watched the two suspects make their way along
Gloucester Street to the banks of the Avon River while
reporting their movements to the police.
Police arrested
the two suspects shortly
afterwards.
