Police have arrested and charged a man with unlawfully taking a bicycle from Auckland University after a wave of alleged campus thefts.
That follows information received from Herald readers after the publication of CCTV footage of two men on bikes on which bolt-cutters were allegedly used to break their chain locks in daylight outside the university's Grafton medical school on Wednesday.
Sergeant Roy Simpson said this afternoon the arrested man was from South Auckland, and would appear in Auckland District Court next week.
Asked whether the police had any leads on the second man, he said "inquiries are ongoing."
