Police are investigating a suspected Mangapai heist job which saw multiple homes in the surrounding area burgled on Saturday night.
Antony Watson, 23, was fast asleep when his Mangapai Rd property was burgled about 1.15am on Sunday.
The perpetrators, who were caught on Watson's security cameras, numbered between two and three and drove what appeared to be a silver Subaru Forester. The burglars snuck onto the property three times in about 30 minutes without detection, stealing a television, tools, boxes of beer and fuel - totalling around $1500.
