Attributable to Waikato West Area Prevention Manager Senior Sergeant David Hall:
A man has been arrested following a burglary in Te Awamutu.
In the early hours of Sunday 14 May, a commercial premises on Bond Road was broken into and items worth over $5,000, including shirts and weightlifting equipment, was stolen.
Police executed a search warrant at a residential address in Te Awamutu on Tuesday, where an 18-year-old man was taken into custody and some of the stolen items were recovered.
The man is due to appear in Hamilton District Court today on a burglary related charge.
Police take this type of offending extremely seriously and we work hard to hold offenders to account.
If you see any suspicious activity Police urge you to contact 105 if it is after the fact or 111 if it happening now.
