A woman is facing 15 charges after four homes in Auckland’s Sunnyhills were ransacked while owners holidayed.<\/p>\n
The addresses were robbed of luxury handbags, jewellery and a vehicle in a haul police valued at more than $200,000.<\/p>\n
Police received reports on Sunday of a burglary at a Fordyce Ave property in the east Auckland suburb, where a vehicle, several luxury handbags and other items were taken.<\/p>\n
Inspector Rod Honan said the home had been targeted sometime between August 28 and 30.<\/p>\n
“On Monday, police were made aware of the stolen vehicle spotted travelling in the \u014ct\u0101huhu area,” Honan said.<\/p>\n
“The Police Eagle helicopter was able to quickly track the vehicle to an address in Mount Wellington where the sole occupant was taken into custody.”<\/p>\n
A search of the vehicle turned up a significant quantity of suspected stolen property, including luxury branded handbags, a bank card, jewellery and other personal items.<\/p>\n
“Police also located burglary implements including bolt cutters, gloves, screwdrivers and other tools, along with a quantity of suspected methamphetamine,” he said.<\/p>\n
He said the investigation team was also looking into other burglaries in the area earlier in August, particularly in nearby Manor Park.<\/p>\n
Police executed search warrants at Bucklands Beach and Mt Eden addresses, as well as a Mount Roskill storage unit, where several items of interest were found.<\/p>\n
The woman has been remanded in custody and will appear in Manukau District Court on September 17. <\/p>\n
She has been charged with receiving property, being unlawfully in a building, dangerous driving and possession of methamphetamine.<\/p>\n
Honan said police were not ruling out further charges or arrests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman is facing 15 charges after four homes in Auckland’s Sunnyhills were ransacked while owners holidayed.
