Police have arrested a man following a series of reports about his behaviour from the Mt Wellington community.
Late last week, Police received reports about a man acting suspiciously around the morning school drop off times.
Auckland City East Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Rachel Dolheguy says the reports centred around the Mt Wellington Highway.
¡°Police attended on Wednesday and Friday after it was reported the man had been acting suspiciously around people near Harris Road.
¡°While he had not committed offences, Police were concerned about this man¡¯s behaviour.
¡°Our frontline staff have been looking out for this man in recent days.¡±
This morning, Police received a 111 call reporting similar behaviour in the area.
Inspector Dolheguy says Police once again responded to the area, and arrested a man.
¡°The member of the public who contacted us was able to provide a clear description, which was able to assist the Police responding to the report.
¡°Our frontline team located this man outside shops near Harris Road.¡±
The 45-year-old Papakura man was arrested on four counts of breaching his bail and was taken into custody.
¡°It¡¯s a pleasing result for us to remove this man from the area, and highlights a good partnership between community and Police,¡± Inspector Dolheguy says.
¡°This is a good reminder to continue reporting these incidents as they occur with as much detail as possible.¡±
