A man will scoot to court today following an alleged robbery in east Auckland yesterday afternoon.
Just after 4pm, Police were notified of an incident in Point England Road where a person had allegedly been assaulted and their scooter taken.
Auckland City East Area Response Manager, Senior Sergeant Tony Ngau Chun, says the victim was able to provide a detailed description of the alleged offender.
"Staff arrived quickly and were able to obtain a statement from the victim where he advised that the scooter was fitted with an AirTag.
"Based off that information Police attended an address in the nearby area and took one person into custody without issue."
He says the scooter was also recovered from the property and returned to its rightful owner.
"We're pleased we were able to locate this person and bring them before the Court to be held to account for their actions."
A 49-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with robbery.
