A Rodney woman has appeared in court facing a charge of receiving about $50,000 worth of stolen sporting equipment belonging to the Warriors.
Siobhan Suzanne Kelly, 25, appeared in the North Shore District Court today before a registrar.
She faced a charge of receiving stolen sporting equipment valued at about $50,000 from persons unknown on March 30.
The maximum penalty for the offence is seven years' imprisonment.
Kelly also faced a charge of possessing cannabis on March 30.
She was remanded on bail to complete a legal aid application and is scheduled to reappear later this month.
An alleged co-offender, also facing a receiving charge, will appear in the same court this month.
At the time of the theft police said two offenders had broken into a van containing Warriors players' uniforms, GPS units and a video drone among other items in the early hours of March 26.
The unmarked van was parked outside a staff member's house on Auckland's North Shore when it was broken into.
Staff had been unable to use their headquarters at Mt Smart Stadium to store the gear because of the Ed Sheeran concert taking place.
Police made a public appeal for information and released CCTV stills of the theft.
Detective Sergeant Dean Miles has previously said the North Shore police credited the public for helping recover the stolen property.
"Police recovered the property late on Friday March 30.
"We'd like to thank members of the public for coming forward with information and the great team effort which has seen the property recovered."
It's understood a NZDF aircraft and multiple helicopters are involved.
