A mother has been charged with shooting at police as they tried to arrest her kids, who are accused of carrying out ram raids in Waikato.
The 32-year-old was charged yesterday and appeared in the Hamilton District Court via audio-visual link today, facing three charges from the December 19 incident which involved ram raids in Cambridge and Te Awamutu.
Police were first called to a burglary in Duke St, Cambridge, at 3.49am and a burglary at Super Liquor, Te Awamutu, on Sloane St at 4.42am.
The alleged burglars’ vehicle was stopped after police used road spikes near Bader St, Hamilton before a police dog team arrested four youths.
