It included an aggravated robbery in Belmont on September 13.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, this offending has involved the same victim and offender as the initial incident in August, for which an arrest had already been made.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat offender, a 14-year-old female, has since been remanded in custody and is facing a charge of aggravated robbery with further charges pending,\u201d McKeown said.<\/p>\n
This week, a second 14-year-old girl was also charged. <\/p>\n
Police were continuing to make inquiries into the offending in Belmont last week.<\/p>\n
McKeown said inquiries were ongoing to locate the second person allegedly involved in that incident, and officers had recovered and returned the victim\u2019s watch that was allegedly stolen.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice acknowledge the significant concern these incidents have caused the victims, their families, and the wider community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have no tolerance for these acts of violence, and it is understandably distressing for the victim to have encountered one of the alleged offenders on two occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n
McKeown said Operation Jacaranda remained ongoing and police were continuing to speak with those involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice have maintained regular contact with the victims and their families as we worked to hold the offenders accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It included an aggravated robbery in Belmont on September 13. \u201cUnfortunately, this offending has involved the same victim…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603011,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[55413,74,9092,1554,3952,1558,13239,1873,3011,13838,209,305,29819,15167,4486,111,43,139,529,69,28703,1523,4517,384,38538,18484,5163,6123,4741,1079,678],"class_list":["post-603010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-14yearold","tag-after","tag-against","tag-alleged","tag-aucklands","tag-been","tag-charged","tag-charges","tag-four","tag-girls","tag-group","tag-have","tag-involving","tag-laid","tag-month","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-north","tag-nz","tag-offending","tag-over","tag-past","tag-people","tag-referred","tag-shore","tag-teen","tag-while","tag-young","tag-youth","tag-youths"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603010","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=603010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
