Suspicious behaviour and a van full of equipment led officers on an fruitful discovery in Manurewa earlier this week.

Just after midnight on Tuesday, Police were alerted to a vehicle travelling on Roscommon Road with stolen registration plates.

Counties Manukau Central Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Warrick Adkin, says the plates were originally from a Ford Transit but were observed on a Toyota Hiace.

“Eagle was quickly deployed and within 15 minutes the crew had located the vehicle on Wordsworth Road.”
