A woman has been arrested in relation to a home invasion where thieves rifled through a South Auckland house for half an hour before pushing a newborn baby from his bassinet on to the floor as they fled the startled residents.
Ben Scott and his fiancée Chelsea were asleep in their Manurewa home on 30 December when at least one person broke into the house.
