Police have arrested and charged a Wellington man tonight after discovering a large amount of stolen property following a search warrant at his Lower Hutt address.
Hutt Valley Police executed the search warrant at a Wainuiomata address on Tuesday.
Detective Sergeant Richard Orr said that a number of building tools, car parts, stolen diesel, and other items were uncovered.
The 39-year-old was arrested and now faces nine burglary-related charges, and Orr said that inquiries are ongoing.
"Most of the property that police recovered was taken from building sites, which serves as a timely reminder to construction site workers to secure sites and engrave equipment," Orr outlined in a statement.
