Police are on the hunt for a person dressed all in black wielding a weapon who appears to be at the heart of a series of burglaries around Invercargill.
Before dawn on Wednesday a grey Subaru Legacy sedan was stolen from Tweed St, Detective Constable Pete Smallfield, of Invercargill’s Criminal Investigation Branch, said.
The vehicle was then used in four burglaries between 5.15am and 5.40am at commercial addresses on Yarrow, Leven, Herbert and Windsor streets.
The person appeared to be wielding a screwdriver in the burglary, he said.
