A Policing team effort across T¨¡maki Makaurau has seen three people in Court today over alleged serious offences on Auckland¡¯s North Shore.
On 17 February, Police responded to reports of a robbery at a residential address on Holland Road, Hillcrest, involving two males.
A short time later, Police allege the two males were involved in a second incident with a third accomplice ¨C an aggravated robbery on Sulphur Beach Road, Northcote Point, where a firearm is understood to have been presented and a vehicle was taken.
Extensive enquiries in the coming days have led Police to addresses in ?tara and Massey respectively, where Police have taken three people into custody.?
A subsequent search of the address located a vehicle alleged to be involved in the Sulphur Beach Road incident, as well as a firearm.
The three men, aged between 30 and 37-years-old, are due to appear in the North Shore District Court today charged with aggravated robbery.
Acting °Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ Detective Senior Sergeant Ryan Bunting, says this was excellent work by all involved.
¡°Staff across T¨¡maki Makaurau, including from our District Command Centre, Crime Squads, Delta, AOS, and Public Safety teams from all over the region, came together across several shifts to resolve these incidents.
¡°We hope these prompt apprehensions bring reassurance to the our °Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ communities. This is a great example of Police holding those responsible to account for unlawful activities in our area.¡±
Police cannot rule out further charges in relation to these incidents.
