    Hawke's Bay Police have laid 100 charges against 20 people following an operation targeting repeat retail crime offenders

    Hawke's Bay Police have laid 100 charges against 20 people following an operation targeting repeat retail crime offenders


    Some face multiple charges of Burglary and Aggravated Assault - those charged will appear in court in the coming weeks.

    Police say some store employees tried to detain offenders in order to get their property back, and have been assaulted in the process.

    Multiple search warrants were executed and some stolen property was recovered.

    Police say there appears to be a strong market operating in Hawke's Bay, where the thieves are likely exchanging stolen property for other items including drugs.
