Attribute to Detective Senior Sergeant Rhys Johnston, Mid North CIB:
Police have arrested a second person following an investigation into a home invasion incident in Kawakawa last week.
A 40-year-old female has been charged with aggravated burglary and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and will be appearing in the Kaikohe District Court this afternoon.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rhys Johnston says Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to this incident.
“We know the community was appalled to hear the details of this incident and we are pleased to be able to hold those allegedly responsible to account.
“We want to reassure the community that Police take matters of this nature extremely seriously and we will investigate thoroughly,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Johnston.
As the matter is before the courts, Police are not in a position to comment further.
