A 32-year old man is to appear in the Hastings District Court today (Friday) in relation to a break-in at Waipukurau’s Pure Sports & Leisure store early Thursday.
CCTV footage from the store showed a man entering the store just before 1am, breaking through the front door.
The man made off with clothes from a clothing rack.
Sergeant Neil Baker said the arrested man was from Napier.
He said Police will oppose bail when he appears in court.

A number of early childhood centres and schools through the region have reported a significant increase in tummy bugs.
Medical Officer of Health, Dr Nicholas Jones, said samples tested so far have shown the bug to be Norovirus, which is a highly infectious virus tat spreads easily from person to person.
Dr Jones said symptoms appeared to be short-lived, many lasting just 24 hours.
He said most people experienced vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and fatigue.
Anyone with vomiting or diarrhoea should stay away from work or school for 48-hours after symptoms had cleared, and Dr Jones said people should also avoid public swimming pools for two weeks as they can remain infectious.
