A woman who allegedly burgled a Manurewa laundromat repeatedly will face court today.

On eight separate occasions between 26 March and 13 April, the offender and several associates allegedly burgled a Jellicoe Road laundromat.

Counties Manukau Central Area Prevention Manager, Inspector MinHo Lee, says the offending followed the same pattern.

“During each burglary, washing machines and dryers were broken into, and coins were stolen from the deposit boxes.”

But just like a short wash cycle, this offender’s time was almost up.

Attribute to Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Luke Vaughan, Christchurch CIB: 

Police have arrested and charged a young person in relation to two aggravated robberies last week in Christchurch.

On Monday 6 April, Police were called to two aggravated robberies of commercial businesses, one around 8.10pm on Briggs Road, Shirley, and another around 8.20pm on McBratneys Road, Dallington.

In both incidents, two offenders entered the stores with weapons and assaulted one of the workers before fleeing in a vehicle.
