A woman has been arrested after a hoard of stolen gas heating equipment and LPG bottles were found at an Auckland property.<\/p>\n
Detective Senior Sergeant Natalie Nelson, from Counties Manukau South CIB, said police suspected stolen property from a recent burglary was being stored in Papakura.<\/p>\n
“On Wednesday, the Counties Manukau South Tactical Crime Unit executed a search warrant at an Arimu Road address and located a range of stolen items,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Among the items recovered were eight gas califonts – compact water heating systems – and a number of 45kg gas bottles.”<\/p>\n
A 44-year-old woman at the property was arrested without incident, police said, and would appear on a burglary charge in Papakura District Court on 28 May.<\/p>\n
Five of the gas califonts were able to be linked to the Papakura burglary as the owner had kept a record of the serial numbers. Police are still working to identify the owners of the remaining items.<\/p>\n
“Record the serial numbers of tools and valuable items, or mark these with an identifier that can be traced to your property,” Detective Senior Sergeant Nelson said.<\/p>\n
“This can help Police return your items if they’re stolen by thieves.”<\/p>\n
