Police were called to Kmart in Botany about 10.30am on Sunday, after someone reported seeing a man and a woman stealing three shopping trolleys filled with items.
"Police have made a number of enquiries and subsequently located the vehicle at an address in Great South Road, Manurewa," Senior Sergeant Simon Cornish said.
"Two people were quickly arrested and about $400 worth of goods were recovered from the vehicle."
Cornish said Christmas was "a time for giving, not taking".
Though two people were arrested, police only said a 35-year-old woman was charged with two counts of shoplifting and driving without a license.
She is due to appear in the Manukau District Court on Wednesday.
