1 min read

Four people are before the courts after separate burglaries in Waihi and Waihi Beach areas.

The offending occurred between 23 January and 5 February.

A 31-year-old woman and 40-year-old man, both of Karangahake, have been jointly charged with burglary from a holiday park; a 48-year-old Auckland man is also charged with burglary from a separate holiday park; while a 24-year-old Waihi man has been charged with burglary of a residential property.

Across all three burglaries, clothing, food and a car were stolen.

Waihi Sergeant Nigel Sanderson says Police want to thank the members of the public who promptly reported the incidents.

¡°The information they provided us allowed us to act quickly ¨C and two of the accused were arrested as they walked past the Waihi Police station.¡±

All four have appeared in court and will reappear at later dates.

¡°It¡¯s horrible knowing that someone has invaded your home or rifled through your property, and it¡¯s great being able to get this result for the victims.

¡°If you¡¯ve been the victim of a crime, please let us know ¨C call 111 if it¡¯s happening now, or make a report via 105 if it¡¯s after the fact.¡±
