One of three men involved in an aggravated burglary in Mount Maunganui has been arrested overnight.

The 29-year-old Northland man will appear in Tauranga District Court today on a charge of aggravated burglary.

The burglary happened at about 4am on Friday when three armed men approached an address in Valley Road, Mount Maunganui.

Western Bay of Plenty area commander Inspector Clifford Paxton says a report about the burglary was received, and when police arrived at the scene three armed men were found at the property.

'Three men carrying weapons ran from the house and got into a car.”

A chase was initiated, the men changed cars, before eventually fleeing on foot.

Clifford says the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

'Police have recovered two vehicles involved, they are being examined, and further enquiries around them are being made.”
