Wanaka police have arrested a 21-year-old local man in
connection with a string of thefts from vehicles in the area
and have recovered some of the items reported stolen.
Senior Constable Emma Fleming said the man had been charged
in relation to seven incidents of reported theft from
vehicles in the Wanaka and Hawea areas, which accounted for
many of the recent reports of such incidents.
"There was a bit of variance in the way some of them [thefts]
happened, so we were able to establish evidence in seven of
them," Snr Const Fleming said.
The man will appear in the Queenstown District Court on
February 27.
