Christchurch Police have today arrested a 28-year-old man in connection with a string of break-ins and car thefts in recent months across the Christchurch Hill suburbs, including Sumner, Mount Pleasant, Heathcote Valley, Hillsborough and Cashmere.

The man will appear in the Christchurch District Court on Friday morning (September 20) charged with numerous offences.

The Christchurch Police Tactical Crime Unit also executed a search warrant which resulted in the recovery of some stolen property.

The investigation continues and further charges are likely.
