Police investigate Dannevirke burglary

Manawatū Police are appealing for information following a burglary in Dannevirke last week.

On Friday 6 March, around 11.40pm, Police were called with a report that a burglary was in progress at a store on High Street.

“Officers responded immediately, however the offenders had already fled the scene – taking with them a large amount of alcohol and cigarettes, as well as an amount of cash”, said Senior Sergeant Carey Williamson.

“A scene guard was in place overnight and a scene examination was carried out early Saturday morning.

“Enquiries are ongoing, however, Police would like to hear from anyone who was in the High Street area, between 11pm and midnight last Friday, and may have witnessed the incident, or any suspicious behaviour.



“Additionally, anyone travelling in that area, around the same time, with dashcam footage is urged to get in touch so that we may be able to review that footage.”

Information can be provided through 105, either online or over the phone, referencing file number 260307/3053.

You can also provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111 – referencing the same file number.
