An 18-year-old man has been arrested and charged in relation to a series of burglaries at Papakura High School in the past six months.
The man was bailed to appear in the Papakura District Court yesterday.
The Counties Manukau South Tactical Crime Unit had been investigating several burglaries which occurred between December 2022 and May 2023, a police spokesperson said.
Detective Sergeant Allan Nixon said an 18-year-old man was arrested and charged in relation to the burglaries.
“It’s always disappointing when important institutions such as schools are targeted in this way.”
Items stolen included 65 Chromebooks, televisions, tablets, food and phones, Nixon said.
