Police are present at a Mangawhai property after a burglar confronted its occupants with a weapon earlier this afternoon.

Just before 2pm, a 111 call was made by an occupant at the address on Robert Street.

“An unknown male has entered the property armed with a piece of wood, and confronted occupants that were home at the time,” Acting Detective Inspector Megan Goldie, of Waitematā CIB says.

“This male has advanced on the occupants, and a confrontation has occurred where the occupants have disarmed the male.”
