A 28-year-old man was arrested last night in relation to a Wairoa home invasion that left a 79-year-old man seriously injured on Wednesday.
Detective Sergeant Sam Park said last week that an unknown offender broke into a home on Brian Ave on April 26 at around 2.25am.
They attacked the elderly man in his bed before leaving with a cell phone and portable landline phone.
Today, Park shared that the victim was only released from hospital yesterday.
"He is expected to make a full recovery," he said.
