A 41-year-old man has been charged with nine offences after a spate of thefts and burglaries in Feilding.
The offending goes back to 18 September, when the man is alleged to have broken into a vehicle and stolen personal possessions on Willowbank Crescent.
What followed was multiple instances of dishonesty offences around Feilding, including burglaries from commercial and residential premises and the theft of a vehicle and bank cards.
Operation Thor was created to reduce offending, and on 17 November the man was arrested, with the assistance of Palmerston North staff.
Officer in Charge Feilding, Sergeant Mike Linton, says Police are determined to hold people to account.
"My team and I remain committed to making sure anyone who commits crime in our town faces the consequences.
"This is a great result for the team and our community - we believe this will go some way in stemming the crime that has been occurring around the town.
"This is only the start of this operation.
"We continue to urge the public to report incidents through 111 if it's happening now, or 105 for non-emergencies."
The man appeared in the Palmerston North District Court on two charges of burglary, three charges of taking bank cards, two charges of taking items from a vehicle, one charge of taking a vehicle, and one charge of interfering with a motor vehicle.
The man was remanded in custody and is due to reappear on 25 November.
