A man has been arrested in relation to an incident involving three men armed with weapons allegedly forcing their way into a Mount Maunganui home this morning.
A 29-year-old Northland man was due to appear in Tauranga District Court tomorrow facing an aggravated burglary charge.
Western Bay of Plenty area commander Inspector Clifford Paxton said police received a report of an aggravated burglary at a Valley Rd property at 4.20am.
When police arrived, it is alleged three men carrying weapons ran from the house and got into a car.
Paxton told the Bay of Plenty Times he believed the people at home during the attack were not the intended victims.
