Teen accused of burglaries

Auckland: Police have arrested a teenager who is accused of taking part in several Auckland ram raids.

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Brand, of Auckland City East Criminal Investigation Branch, said a search warrant was executed this week.

The arrested teen has been charged with three counts of burglary — one of them linked to a ram raid at a Newmarket retailer on Saturday.

The others relate to burglaries in the Botany Town Centre last Tuesday.

The teen will appear in the Manukau Youth Court later this month. — RNZ
