An eagle-eyed neighbour who spotted suspicious activity at the property next door has aided in the arrest of two burglars in Hillpark, South Auckland overnight.
Just after 2am this morning, Police received a report of a suspected burglary taking place at a property in David Avenue.
A raft of Police resources, including the Police Eagle helicopter, arrived quickly at the scene.
“Two people were located at the address and taken into custody without incident,” Counties Manukau Central Area Commander, Inspector Adam Pyne, says.
“Police actively target burglary offenders every single day, and we continue to ask members of the public to report any suspicious activity.
“I would like to acknowledge the member of the public who acted quickly and called Police straight away.
“I also want to commend our Police staff who flooded the property quickly in order to locate these alleged offenders.”
Anyone who sees any unlawful or suspicious activity should contact Police on 111 immediately.
To report after the fact or in non-emergencies, please contact police online at 105.police.govt.nz or call 105.
Two men, aged 35 and 41, will appear in Manukau District Court today charged with burglary.
