Police have arrested four people following an attempted break-in at a construction site on Parr Road North, Point Chevalier, late Sunday night.
The incident occurred around 11:15 p.m. when an alarm was triggered, prompting a swift police response.
Senior Sergeant Alan Rowland, Auckland City West Area Response Manager, confirmed that CCTV footage from the site showed several individuals trespassing on the property. The Police Eagle helicopter was deployed and spotted one person carrying bolt cutters, while two others appeared to be moving toward a neighboring property.
Officers, including a dog unit, arrived promptly and took four individuals into custody without incident.
“This is a great example of exceptional police work where we apprehended the offenders quickly and effectively,” Rowland said.
Three men, aged 54, 55, and 60, are set to appear in the Auckland District Court today, facing burglary charges.
“We simply won’t tolerate antisocial behaviour like this in our communities,” said Rowland.
