Burglar not up to par

1 min read

Police scored a hole in one following a series of burglaries in Waiuku over recent months.

The Pukekohe Tactical Crime Unit have been investigating a number of burglaries at a Waiuku golf club since November 2024.

Detective Senior Sergeant Simon Taylor says the clubrooms had been the target of each burglary.

¡°A number of items including tills and alcohol were allegedly taken during the offending,¡± he says.

¡°Since these reports, CCTV footage and forensics enquiries have been carried out in the investigation.¡±

It has led to the arrest of a 37-year-old man, who faces three burglary charges.

The man is expected in the Pukekohe District Court today.

¡°Our enquiries are ongoing into these matters and we cannot rule out further charges at this stage,¡± Detective Senior Sergeant Taylor says.

¡°I know these burglaries have been subject of discussion amongst the community, and we will continue to hold those to account where there is sufficient evidence.¡±

Any suspicious behaviour should be promptly reported to the Police.
