A rapid response combined with a side of great Police work has resulted in one person facing court.
At around 2.20pm yesterday, Police were alerted to a person allegedly throwing a rock through the door window of a restaurant on Karangahape Road.
Auckland City Central Area Commander, Inspector Grant Tetzlaff, says the person was then seen entering the premises for a short period before fleeing on foot towards Pitt Street.
¡°A Police camera operator has then been able to track the person¡¯s movements and direct staff to their exact location.
¡°Within minutes Police units were on the ground and located the male outside a store on Karangahape Road where he was quickly arrested,¡± he says.
¡°This was great work from Police staff from across different areas, utilising a range of resources to bring the matter to a conclusion safely.
¡°This is yet another reminder for those who choose to engage in this type of behaviour, know that we will continue to make arrests and hold those offenders to account.¡±
A 17-year-old will appear in Auckland Youth Court today charged with burglary.
