On the night of the 12 July this year, approximately 20 burglaries occurred in the Mahia area with the offenders targeting tools and outdoor equipment.

Yesterday two search warrants were conducted in the Wairoa area and three people were arrested for all the burglaries.

Charges have been laid, and two men aged in their 20s along with one 17-year-old, all from Wairoa, will appear in the Wairoa District Court this week.

Police are pleased to report that no further offenders are outstanding following this investigation.

A large percentage of the stolen property has been identified, the property recovered and returned to the owners.
