Three arrests were made after a trio attempted to break into a St Heliers convenience store this morning.
Auckland City East Area Prevention Manager Inspector Rachel Dolheguy says a burglary was reported at 1am at the St Heliers Bay Road store.
¡°Three offenders were reported to be trying to break into the store and had kicked the door in,¡± she says.
¡°Units deployed into the St Heliers Village in response.¡±
The trio were located by the Police Air Support Unit walking on Tamaki Drive.
A 15-year-old male and two girls, aged 12 and 13, were taken into custody, Inspector Dolheguy says.
¡°Staff have since confirmed that the three young people had not managed to steal anything, however the front door was damaged.
¡°The pair will be dealt with through Youth Aid around intentional damage.¡±
