Melanie Earley Reporter from Papakura Courier

Kia ora neighbours, the police have released video of a man being caught in the act of allegedly trying to steal diesel from a digger.

On July 17, a police helicopter was flying over Popes Rd in Takanini, South Auckland, searching for a stolen car when they spotted the man and his car.

“When Eagle located the suspicious activity, they directed officers to the area,” a police spokesperson said.

In the video, a man could be seen standing next to a car which was parked directly behind the digger. He got out two petrol cans, pulled a hose out of the car and hopped underneath the heavy machinery.
