Three youths have been referred to Youth Aid following a burglary at a Kohimarama dairy early this morning in which a car was used to enter the premises.
At approximately 3.15am a car was driven into the premises and several grocery items were taken.
A short time later in Glenn Innes Police attended a burglary in which the car from the dairy burglary was seen leaving. Air Support Unit Eagle tracked the vehicle which was subsequently spiked, and three occupants ran to a neighbouring property where they were located and taken into Police custody.
Three young people have been referred to Youth Aid and enquiries are continuing to identify the fourth occupant.
Youth aid. Just useless. What’s that going to achieve? We are too soft on crime in this country.
