Teen Booked After Terminal Burglary

Two teenagers were quickly apprehended after an early morning burglary at the Devonport Ferry Terminal.

Police were contacted at around 6.10am on Tuesday.

"Two males were reported to have allegedly forced open a roller door at a convenience store within the ferry terminal," Waitematā East Area Response Manager, Senior Sergeant CJ Miles says.

"They both made off with various products from inside the store.

"Units deployed into the Devonport area, with a dog handler quickly on the scent and tracking the pair down."

Senior Sergeant Miles says the two males, aged 13 and 15, were both taken into custody without further incident.

The 15-year-old male will appear today in the North Shore Youth Court on a burglary charge, with the second male being referred to Youth Aid.
