Police have recovered a number of handheld radios that were allegedly stolen in a burglary at the Whangärei Heads Surf Club.
The items were allegedly stolen between the 19th and 20th of November.
Constable James Harris says work by the Whangärei Police Tactical Crime Unit resulted in the recovery of the radios.
“These radios are vital to the operation at the Surf Club, especially with the busy summer period upon us,” Constable Harris says.
“We are pleased to recover the radios and that Police have been able to hold the alleged offender to account.”
A 17-year-old man has been charged in relation to the burglary and is due to next appear in the Whangärei District Court in January.
As the matter is before the Courts, Police are unable to comment further.
