Two men have been arrested in relation to a series of bag snatching incidents in the Auckland region in the past few months.
A 22-year-old and 24-year-old man have been charged after a number of incidents reported in parts of east and south Auckland, such as Botany and Papatoetoe.
Both
men are due to appear in the Manukau District Court on what police say are "numerous" charges relating to theft and other dishonesty offences.
"Our investigation remains ongoing and we cannot rule out further arrests being made or charges being laid," Inspector Colin Higson, of Counties Manukau Police, said.
