Four people are facing charges after allegedly breaking into vehicles in Flat Bush overnight.<\/p>\n
Residents had seen a group of offenders breaking into at least three vehicles around Amaretto Avenue at around 11pm on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Counties Manukau East Area Commander, Inspector Rod Honan says residents provided good information, including a description and registration of the vehicle they fled in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Police Eagle helicopter responded to the area and sighted the vehicle, which was stolen,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cEagle directed our ground staff to the vehicle\u2019s location, and it was successfully spiked.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shortly afterwards the vehicle came to a stop.<\/p>\n
Four occupants aged between 14 and 16 were taken into custody without further incident, Inspector Honan says.<\/p>\n
All four are facing multiple charges of unlawfully interfering with a motor vehicle and will appear in the Manukau Youth Court.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know this sort of offending where people\u2019s property is targeted can be incredibly invasive for our community,\u201d Inspector Honan says.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to acknowledge residents who observed the offending occurring and called 111 straight away, meaning Police could respond.\u201d<\/p>\n
