A man with blood on his face is seen being hauled away by police on Karangahape Road.
Those arrested are all males aged between 15 and 17, police said.
“All four have jointly been charged with committing burglary with a weapon, over the offending that took place in Howick,” Counties Manukau district commander Superintendent Shanan Gray said.
