Location:
A disturbance in the night prompted a Police callout, resulting in arrests and stolen property being recovered.
A resident called Police around 10.51pm, after he heard floorboards creaking inside his property.
“The caller said he’d gone to investigate and could see the outline of a man in the darkness,” Inspector Wayne Kitcher, Area Prevention Manager, Auckland City West Area says.
“He’d disturbed the intruder, who got a fright and fled the scene.”
A 111 call-taker took all the available information, and Police were deployed to the area.
