Auckland Central Police have cleared out two apartments full of stolen property, resulting in four arrests.
In the process an excess of 80 stolen items, including 13 electric scooters, have been recovered by Police.

Auckland Central Area Commander Inspector Grant Tetzlaff says an investigation has been underway into a series of burglaries at businesses and apartments in the city over the past month.
On Wednesday morning, the City Tactical Crime Unit along with the Beat Team and Police Support Unit executed two search warrants.
“Operation Rocket homed in on two apartments within a Hobson Street complex,” Inspector Tetzlaff says.
“Inside our teams came across an Aladdin’s cave of stolen property and it’s going to take some time to work through where everything has come from.”
Amongst the find was 13 electric scooters, an assortment of power tools and other electronic valuables.
Some of the power tools have been linked to a North Shore burglary in 2019, Inspector Tetzlaff says.

Four people at the addresses have been arrested and charged.
“Charges laid at this point relate to two burglaries at a Wellesley Street business, and a Union Street apartment last month,” he says.
Those charged are two men, aged 28 and 36, and two women, aged 35 and 41.

A 28-year-old man has been charged with two counts of burglary. He has also been charged with the aggravated robbery of an electric scooter in January.

A 41-year-old woman faces two charges of burglary. The other two arrested face charges of receiving stolen property.

Separately, a 47-year-old woman was located during search warrants in possession of methamphetamine and charged accordingly.
“The team working on Operation Rocket are continuing with their enquiries and further charges cannot be ruled out at this stage,” Inspector Tetzlaff says.
“Burglary is a serious offence and brings with it a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.
“It’s a fantastic outcome as our team continue to work hard in holding this offending to account.”

Those charged are now before the Auckland District Court.

If you get NZ Super or Veteran’s Pension, you will be entitled to receive it from Thursday 1 May until Wednesday 1 October. This is done automatically; you don’t need to apply.
When you receive NZ Super on Tuesday 6 May it will include a part Winter Energy Payment. Your first full Winter Energy Payment will be on Tuesday 20 May.
Couples and people with dependent children will get $31.82 a week. Single and widowed people will get $20.46 a week.
Couples will receive a combined payment which is made to one person in the couple – unfortunately we can’t split it, but we can switch it to the other person’s account. Please get in touch if you want to do so by calling the MSD Seniors Line on 0800 552 002.
If you are overseas
================
If you are travelling overseas during this period, or you are already in another country on Tuesday 1 May, you can keep getting the Winter Energy Payment for up to 28 days (or four weeks).
You must tell MSD if you’ll be away for more than 28 days, otherwise you could be paid incorrectly. If this happens, you may be required to pay some money back.
The easiest way to let MSD know about your travel is using the ‘Overseas travel dates for NZ Super or Veteran’s Pension’ online form, or by giving MSD a call on 0800 552 002. You will also need to tell MSD when you return, so your payment can be started again.

MISSING CAT - PLEASE HELP US BRING HIM HOME!

Louie - 14-Year-Old British Shorthair Last Seen: Saturday afternoon, 29th March 2025 Location: Warwick Street, Western Springs Description: Colour: Blue/Grey and has a short stubby tail (no tail -due to car accident when he was younger).

Special Info: Louie is recovering from recent surgery on his back left leg. He just had the stitches removed and is still wearing a bright blue/green cat cone (with pictures of cats), which is due to be removed this week.

Personality: Friendly, but he may be a little scared and confused due to his recovery.

Microchipped for identification.

Please Help! Louie doesn't usually wander far, and he didn't come home for dinner. We are absolutely heartbroken and desperate to bring him back.

Please check your garage, shed, garden, under the deck, or any other hidden spots around your house. Every little search could make a big difference. If you've seen Louie or have any information, please contact us immediately.

We are incredibly worried about him, and any help you can provide would mean the world to us. Contact: Zelda: 021 265 0356

Please share this flyer with anyone in the area, and keep a lookout for him.

Your help is so deeply appreciated! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
