A man is due to appear in court today after being outsmarted by Police in Waihi on Friday night.
"Waikato Police have arrested a suspected repeat offender after he tried to sneak away from the scene of a crime in Waihi yesterday evening," says a police spokesperson.
Around 7pm on Friday, August 16, Police were notified that a known man, believed to have previously pilfered items from the Waihi Transfer Station along with the CCTV cameras, was onsite again.
"Cordons were established in the area but after a lengthy period of searching the area to locate him, units were stood down," says a police spokesperson.
"Thinking the coast was clear, the man left his hiding place and was quickly taken into custody by staff who had remained in the area."
The 28-year-old man has been charged with burglary, possession of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine utensils.
He is due to appear in Hamilton District Court today.
