An alleged burglar, using pre-paid scooters in his crime spree across Auckland, has been charged by police.
The 46-year-old man was allegedly responsible for a “significant number” of burglaries in the city, Inspector Rachel Dolheguy said in a statement on Tuesday.
His arrest comes after police received a tip off.
“Police have been working hard to identify and locate the person responsible for a number of burglaries in the Onehunga, Mont Wellington, Ellerslie and Glen Innes areas,” Insp Dolheguy said.
“Last night police acted on information received and located the alleged offender at a property in Mount Wellington where he was quickly taken into custody.
“He was allegedly using pre-pay scooters to facilitate his crimes and his arrest is a culmination of great police work.”
