Attributable to Detective Sergeant Brent Griffiths, Tairāwhiti Police:

Police have charged two men following multiple commercial burglaries in the city last month.

Police yesterday executed search warrants at two residential addresses resulting in the recovery of some of the stolen items, including property from a commercial burglary in August.

Two men, aged 40 and 44, remain in Police custody and are due to appear in the Gisborne District Court this afternoon on burglary and other dishonesty-related charges.

Enquiries are ongoing and further charges are likely.

This type of offending has far-reaching consequences for our local business owners and third-party victims, causing significant operational disruption and fiscal loss. The offending will not be tolerated, and Police are committed to holding these offenders to account.

If you are a victim of offending, or if you witness any suspicious behaviour, you are urged to contact Police on 111 if it’s happening now, or 105 if it’s after the fact.
