Two people have been arrested after a pair of teenagers were allegedly robbed of their e-bikes at knifepoint on Auckland’s North Shore over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Police said the incident occurred on Lake Rd in the suburb of Belmont at around 2.30pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Two teenagers riding their e-bikes were confronted by two people who pulled up next to them in a vehicle with a male passenger demanding the bikes and threatening them with a knife, said Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Williams.<\/p>\n
“The man has then allegedly pushed one of the victims off the bike before assaulting him and riding off on the bike.<\/p>\n
“Officers have then made a number of enquiries and were able to confirm a registration for the vehicle.”<\/p>\n
Search warrants were carried out at properties in Belmont and \u014ctara on Monday, with two people arrested at the \u014ctara property.<\/p>\n
Williams said several stolen items were located at the address.<\/p>\n
“However enquiries remain ongoing to locate the bike.”<\/p>\n
A 28-year-old man will appear in North Shore District Court today charged with aggravated robbery and three counts of shoplifting.<\/p>\n
A 31-year-old woman charged with resisting police, assaulting police and failing to carry out obligations in relation to a computer search will appear in North Shore District Court tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people have been arrested after a pair of teenagers were allegedly robbed of their e-bikes at knifepoint…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[51,67,42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-197788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-auckland","tag-crime-and-justice","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
