A 44-year-old man is due in court tomorrow after Police recovered a significant haul of allegedly stolen property from a Whiritoa address.

Police were made aware of around nine burglaries in the small beach community north of Waihi over the past week, and say residents were understandably becoming increasingly frustrated.

Officers executed a search warrant at a Whiritoa address on Saturday, where a large quantity of allegedly stolen property was found and recovered. A 44-year-old man was taken into custody at the scene.

He has been charged with burglary and breach of bail and is due to appear in Hamilton District Court on Monday 9 November.

Sergeant Cameron Young says Police recognise the impact the incidents have had on the community.

“We acknowledge these recent incidents would have been incredibly unsettling for the Whiritoa community, and we hope this arrest brings reassurance that we work hard to hold offenders to account,” he says.

Police enquiries are continuing and further charges have not been ruled out.
