A quick-thinking neighbour helped police catch two burglars.
A Napier man heard intruders in his home just after midnight so he left the house to phone the police. He also told a neighbour about the break-in.
The neighbour followed the intruders from the man's house to another Napier address and then told police of their location.
Police recovered a number of electronic items that had been taken during the break-in, and arrested two men and charged them with burglary.
Senior Sergeant Mike Stevenson said this was a good example of the community being eyes and ears for the police.
