A Northland man who allegedly stole $600 worth of clothing from a Dargaville store came a cropper thanks to CCTV.

Police arrived at the Victoria Street store soon after being alerted to a theft at around 10.06am, on Monday, 22 September.

“A review of in-store CCTV provided Police with a clear picture of a person who’d made no attempt to pay for items of clothing he left the store with,” Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Pilmer says. 

“A short time later, Police located a vehicle of interest at a petrol station in Dargaville.”
