Last week in the Coromandel area there were six people arrested for breach of bail and warrants to arrest. A search warrant was executed, a rock met a windscreen, light-fingered crooks were active and the spectre of family harm reared its ugly head again.

Police executed a search warrant at a Kensington Rd address in relation to the robbery of Waihi Super Liquor that occurred on February 26. A suspect was arrested and police are investigating further lines of inquiry to identify the second offender.
A Waihi man was arrested for wilful damage and threatening behaviour after a heated family harm incident at BP Connect. He allegedly threatened to assault a woman and threw a rock at a vehicle windscreen smashing it.
A Waihi woman was arrested for burglary at a Walker St address. She is alleged to have stolen a TV, bedsheets and towels belonging to Katikati Motel the day prior. Her actions were caught on CCTV and witnesses assisted police to identify her. She also had a warrant to arrest for failing to appear on a historic theft charge. She is alleged to have stolen fruit and veges to the value of $150 from a roadside stall at Bridgman Lane. She has been remanded in custody.
