A woman accused of a month-long crime spree across the city will apply for bail tomorrow.

Tamzen Bush, 24, and Brandon Wong, 20, face a slew of charges after alleged offending spanning Auckland, Gisborne and Ohope.

Bush appeared in Auckland District Court today and was remanded in custody before a bail bid in the morning.

The pair were arrested in Paeroa about 1pm on Monday after a member of the public called police.

They are jointly charged with six counts of burglary, stealing petrol, failing to stop for police and attempting to steal a Subaru car.

Wong is also facing four charges for stealing registration plates, unlawfully using an ANZ Visa card and stealing petrol.

He will appear in Auckland District Court next week.

Police on Monday found the couple in a silver Jeep Cherokee that had allegedly been stolen from an Ohope address the night before.

They gave false names to police, but a spokeswoman said officers quickly established their true identities and they were arrested without incident.

Officers from Waitemata police travelled down to Hamilton yesterday morning to interview the pair before charges were laid.

Their arrests come after a public appeal for information last week.

Police said the couple were understood to be travelling together and had been previously believed to be in Helensville and Orewa.
