As put by Sergeant Tim Coudret, Clutha Police:
Police are reminding motorists to be vigilant after a search warrant targeting an alleged thief, was executed in Milton yesterday morning, Monday 7 October.
Enquiries began following a noted rise in thefts from vehicles over the last few week. Thanks to these enquiries and information from the community the person believed responsible was identified.
A young person was arrested and an assortment of items were recovered which Police will be looking to reunite with their rightful owners.
A 17-year-old is due to appear in the Dunedin Youth Court in due course.
Unfortunately, there are people out there willing to benefit from crime, but yesterday's work shows the commitment of Police to stopping those individuals.
Police are urging all vehicle owners to take additional precautions to secure their vehicles, such as locking doors, removing valuables from sight, and parking in well-lit areas.
