Supermarket Smash and Arrest | Auckland News

A supermarket in Papakura was shattered early this morning when a suspect went on a rampage with a metal pole—luckily, staff escaped unharmed by taking shelter. Police arrived to find him still at the scene; when ordered to drop the pole, he bolted, sparking a short chase that ended when brave staff cornered him on Great South Road. Investigators say he’s also linked to earlier damage on O’Shannessey Street. Now, a 38-year-old man is in custody facing burglary, resisting arrest, and two counts of wilful damage—and he’s set to appear in court today. Chaos avoided, thanks to quick thinking.
