A woman has been arrested after alleged thefts during open homes across Auckland in recent months.
Detective Senior Sergeant Megan Goldie said the woman allegedly targeted personal belongings such as jewellery.
The woman had allegedly targeted 12 homes across West Auckland and the North Shore since August, Goldie said.
“Yesterday morning, we arrested a woman at an address in Massey and located and recovered items of jewellery there that were reported as stolen.
“We are working hard to recover more of the stolen jewellery for its owners.”
Goldie said the community should remain “vigilant” when putting their homes up for open home viewings.
“Ensure high value items that can easily be stolen are removed from the property or secured into a safe.”
The 29-year-old woman will appear in Waitākere District Court today facing 12 counts of burglary charges, and two of taking and using a credit card for pecuniary advantage.
