A 13-year-old ram-raid suspect has been arrested after a Napier house search which also uncovered stolen property and cannabis plants.
Police raided the Cranby Cr, Onekawa property shortly before 2.30pm on Wednesday, about 12 hours after CBD Emerson St vape store Cosmic Napier was ram-raided.
Police confirmed
a boy, 13, had been arrested and “a number of stolen items” and “a small number of cannabis plants” were seized.
It was believed other youths were involved in the ram-raidduring Cyclone Hale, which brought about 25mm of rain to Napier between 12am and 5am.
The front entrance was rammed, using a stolen vehicle, and goods from the store were found in the vehicle, left at the scene.
