When a bakery in Greymouth was broken into, one thing was clear - the burglar wasn't there for a custard square.
Rather a 300kg safe.
Police have arrested a 54-year-old man following a burglary at a bakery in Greymouth.
The bakery was broken into overnight on October 26 and a safe weighing 300kg taken.
Police believed the offenders used heavy machinery to uplift it.
West Coast police carried out search warrants on a Greymouth property on November 13 and recovered the safe.
A man was subsequently arrested and would appear in Greymouth District Court today on burglary charges and unrelated drug offences.
Police believed another person may have been involved.
They have appealed for anyone who may have seen suspicious activity or heard any loud machinery operating overnight on October 26 to 27 in the Cobden area to contact Greymouth Police on (03) 768-2628 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
