A pregnant woman has been stealing baby clothes in Whakatane, police say.
The 20-year-old has admitted three of seven burglaries committed in Whakatane in the past week, Sergeant Yvonne Parker said.
In one of the burglaries, a video camera, alcohol and baby clothes were taken, she said.
It appeared the woman was in "nesting mode," Mrs Parker said.
The woman has admitted previous burglaries, she said.
"We will also ask her about other burglaries that share similarities, but she says she cannot remember all the addresses where she has offended," Mrs Parker said.
