Police say a thief bagged nearly $1000 worth of groceries before they tracked him down in Auckland last week.<\/p>\n
There were multiple reports of a man shoplifting from a Manukau supermarket last Saturday morning and police said he took a lot of meat products before fleeing in a vehicle.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Inspector Warrick Adkin said they found the vehicle a short distance away and about $800 worth of groceries which were inside were returned to the supermarket.<\/p>\n
He said officers discovered the same person had been involved in shoplifting at a Three Kings supermarket an hour earlier.<\/p>\n
“Further enquiries revealed this male has allegedly been involved in numerous shoplifting or theft incidents this year, totalling several thousand dollars.”<\/p>\n
A 17-year-old appeared in Manukau Youth Court on 24 May facing multiple shoplifting-related charges.<\/p>\n
