Whangārei police have arrested two men and charged them over a spate of tyre slashing in the city that saw about 100 tyres slashed.
Dozens of motorists were affected when tyres were slashed overnight on June 22/23 with many in Kamo.
Whangārei CIB said today that two men, aged 26 and 28, have been arrested and charged in connection to the spate of damage to vehicle tyres back in June throughout Whangārei.
''It has been a time consuming inquiry by our detectives but their focus was always to get a result for the hundred or so victims who were inconvenienced and financially out of pocket due to the mindless actions of these two,'' police said in a statement.
''These offenders have also been charged with a number of arson matters relating to vehicles and some public facilities around the same time. It is always a challenge when you are faced with offending like this to identify who is responsible, but it is also immensely satisfying when we get a result.
