An Auckland man has been charged following an early morning break-in at MP Judith Collins’ Papakura electorate office.
Ambulance staff located an injured man walking on Great South Rd at about 1.30am and alerted officers, according to a police spokesperson.
“While speaking with the man at hospital, police had established he had allegedly sustained the injuries while carrying out a burglary at the Great South Rd office.
“Police have since confirmed entry was gained to the office, and a forensic examination will be carried out today.”
A 27-year-old Papakura man was due to appear in the Manukau District Court today charged with burglary.
Collins, the Government’s Attorney-General and Defence Minister, represents the Auckland electorate of Papakura for the National Party.
Last year, red paint was thrown onto the front of the MP’s electorate office in a protest.
