Please attribute to Auckland City District Commander, Superintendent Sunny Patel:
Police have charged a person following an incident where a window was smashed during a protest last night.
Police were called to a residential address in St Marys Bay at about 5.40pm after received a report of an unknown person smashing a window at the property.
The alleged offender left prior to Police arrival.
At about 8pm, a man believed to be responsible for the damage handed himself into Police.
A 29-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court on 10 October charged with burglary.
I know these ongoing occurrences have caused angst and frustration amongst residents.
Police recognise the right to lawful protest, however we will not condone protest action where property is damaged.
Police continue to urge protestors to remain within the bounds of the law, especially in residential areas.
ENDS.
