A man has been arrested after tyres were stolen from a Red Cross vehicle in Palmerston North over the weekend.
The 26-year-old man from Palmerston North was charged with theft in relation to the incident, which happened on Friday night, Detective Steve Field of the Tactical Crime Unit said.
He was also charged with a number of other similar offences carried out across the city throughout January, Mr Field said.
"The investigation into this offending is continuing as it is believed the man acted with at least two other associates."
A number of the stolen tyres were offered for sale and sold on the Facebook page Hustle Live Manawatu.
