Northland police say they have made a breakthrough in investigations into a spate of aggravated robberies and burglaries on businesses across Whangārei and Kaipara.
The Whangārei Tactical Crime Unit has arrested and charged a teenager, and police are following positive lines of enquiry to identify the remainder of those allegedly responsible, Detective Sergeant Ryan Cooper said.
“This month, we have arrested and charged a male in connection with eight incidents at retail businesses since late June,” he said.
Cooper said the unit is following lines of enquiry into other young people allegedly involved in the offending.
“For legal reasons, we cannot provide further details of these young offenders. However, I’m confident there are people out in the Northland community that will know who these young men are, and where they are.”
