Two juvenile offenders have been arrested after 11 cars vehicles were broken into at a popular makeshift car yard on Te Ngae Rd on Saturday night.
However, police inquiries are still ongoing.
On Sunday morning shattered glass could still be seen at the yard colloquially known as Sewers Motors or
Rangi's Car Yard/Lot. Locals regularly park and leave their cars there, waiting for calls from buyers.
A police spokeswoman said they were not aware of any similar incidents at the premises apart from the Saturday break-ins but said police appreciated the community's concern and were committed to solving the crime and apprehending those responsible.
"While we continue working on ensuring people and their properties are safe we urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
