Quick thinking from members of the public has led Police to stopping a pair of thieves from stealing items from rural mailboxes.
Kamo Police have recovered hundreds of items and are now beginning the task of reuniting the stolen items with their rightful owners.
Two people were arrested late last week and are believed to have been responsible for thefts from letterboxes in areas including Maunu, Maungatapere, Kauri, and along the Tutukaka Coast from Matapouri to Ngunguru.
Sergeant Paul Nicholas says the local community has posted information regarding suspicious behaviour linked to a vehicle in the area.
“It wasn’t long before the vehicle was spotted stopped near some letterboxes at Ngunguru,” he says.
“A member of the public called Police and eventually came across the vehicle where two people were quickly taken into custody.”
Nicholas says the public’s quick reporting meant Police could get on the road and take action.
Officers recovered a significant number of credit cards, driver licences, vouchers and other items including prescription glasses, supplements, shampoo, clothing, house and car keys, phone accessories and even a dog’s toy.
Anyone who was expecting an item to be delivered last week to the rural areas mentioned above should contact Kamo Police Station.
