"I have no problems in coming forward and naming any one of my mokos who is doing wrong. I get that people are getting really angry and upset about what these young boys are doing and have had enough. So have we," she wrote on a Facebook page dedicated to identifying the offenders.
She said she was saddened but not ashamed to have passed his name to police.
If he wanted to play big-boy games he should be punished as one, she said.
Acting Far North police area commander Al Symonds said a total of five young people had now been identified in relation to Friday night's incidents.
Another two were dealt with by police on Friday night and they too had been referred to Youth Aid.
Further enquiries as to who was involved in Friday night's shoplifting and wilful damage incidents were ongoing, and police were "following positive lines of enquiry".
"We're really thankful to the whanau members for their help, they do not want this type of behaviour in the Kaikohe community and the community will no doubt see this as a positive sign," Inspector Symonds said.
There would be an increased police presence focussing on youth activity in the
Kaikohe area over the next few weekends.
Police were also reviewing their deployment plan, which sets out where officers are sent and when, in the Kaikohe area over the next few weeks. Further details would be provided as soon as they were confirmed.
The trouble started early on Friday evening when half a dozen youths entered The Shed liquor store on Marino Court and ran out with 10 boxes of beer.
Police quickly tracked them down to a party on nearby Shaw St but with just two officers, and a large number of adults at the party defending the youths, there was little they could do.
Later that night, about 1am, a group of about 20 youths as young as 11 tried to break into the Mobil service station on lower Broadway.
CCTV footage shows them repeatedly kicking the doors and throwing rocks at the glass. Their faces were obscured by scarves and hoodies.
Businessman Tony Taylor, who runs the town's community patrol, said they were like "a pack of deranged animals". They did not get in but caused about $1000 of damage to the iwi-owned service station.
While youth disorder is not a new problem in the Mid North town, which has been hard hit by economic decline and the nearby prison, but Friday's rampage has put it under a national spotlight.
It has also focussed attention on police numbers across Northland, especially in Far North towns such as Kaikohe.
