Two German tourists who had all of their belongings stolen from their campervan at Fairy Falls in West Auckland have been reunited with their property.
Birgit Handl and Janina Loewer went for an hours walk on Wednesday morning and returned to find their van had been broken into.
All their belongings were taken, including their passports, credit cards, money, Go-Pro cameras and their backpacks containing all their clothing.
Police officers from the Browns Bay Station were on their way to make an unrelated enquiry in Massey, when officers noticed a car with a driver that was acting suspiciously.
They pulled it over and established that the car was stolen and the driver was wanted for multiple burglaries, thefts and stealing from cars.
