Electronics worth $100,000 stolen

Police in Christchurch are trying to find part of a $100,000 truckload of electronic equipment stolen from a transport depot near Christchurch Airport.

A 23-year-old man has been charged with the burglary of the depot between December 31 and January 4.

Police recovered a truck and some of stolen equipment, but Detective Sergeant Mike Johnson said a "large amount" of Panasonic equipment, still in its boxes, was unaccounted for, including plasma television sets and home entertainment systems.
