Counties Manukau Police says they’ve made three arrests today Thursday over complaints about alleged behaviour of some external security contractors at Pak’nSave supermarket in Manukau.
The complaints included allegations of demands being made to customers, say police.
Detective senior sergeant Kevin Tiernan, of Counties Manukau Police Central CIB, says five victims filed complaints with them.
“Enquiries have been carried out since the first report was made to police in late January, culminating in the arrests being made today,” he says.
Two men aged 23 and 39, and a 19-year-old woman are due to appear in the Manukau District Court next Wednesday, March 26.
“All three charged face a variety of charges including demands with intent and obtains by deception,” Tiernan says.
“A charge of demands with intent carries a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment under the Crimes Act.”
Tiernan says he acknowledges the victims that came forward to assist the police investigation.
