An alleged shoplifter has been arrested following "recent offending" at a number of Taupō retailers in the past month.
The man was charged after a search was carried out by police at a home in Taupō today.
Several stolen items were recovered during the search.
It comes after police received multiple reports regarding a suspicious vehicle yesterday.
A 26-year-old man is due to appear in the Rotorua District Court tomorrow on two burglary charges, four shoplifting charges and one charge of possession of methamphetamine.
