A man has been arrested following a burglary at a Ngongotahā store.

A police spokesman said police were called to a burglary at a Hall Rd store around 11pm on Monday.

“Entrance was gained through brute force, not with a vehicle,” he said.

“Thanks to the quick report made to police, the alleged offender was located in the store and subsequently arrested on site.”

A 35-year-old man is due to appear in the Rotorua District Court on a charge of burglary today.
