"This was great work from our staff to get these burglaries solved and the alleged offenders brought to justice," Inspector Marty James area manager prevention Hawke's Bay says.

"It's a win for us and for the community to be able to apprehend these people and put a stop to this offending, especially when nobody is supposed to be out and about in level 4."

"Please be vigilant with the security of your home, business and vehicles, and if you see anything suspicious, contact 111 immediately."
