Police searching for a stolen vehicle in Flat Bush have recovered two luxury cars and arrested two people.
Officers were carrying out patrols in the area about 11.40pm on March 12 while looking for a Mercedes Benz reported stolen the previous day.
Detective Inspector Karen Bright, Counties Manukau CIB, says the vehicle was located parked on Whakatupu Road.
“The vehicle was displaying altered number plates and officers then carried out enquiries at a nearby address, where the keys to the stolen Mercedes Benz were located,” she says.
During those enquiries, Police also discovered another stolen vehicle at the address.
“Officers also located a second stolen vehicle, another Mercedes Benz station wagon valued at more than $100,000.”
Two people were taken into custody at the scene.
“We refuse to tolerate offending of this nature,” Detective Inspector Bright says.
“This is a fantastic result and we’re pleased these people can be held to account.”
A 32-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman have been charged with aggravated robbery and are due to appear in Manukau District Court today.
