Central Hawke’s Bay Police have had numerous reports of burglaries reported over the past two weeks.

Senior Constable Andy Walker said the burglaries have been spread across the district, with no one area in particular being hit.

He said there have been burglaries reported in Otawhao Road at Takapau, where parts off a vehicle parked in the yard were taken.

Another on Ugly Hill Road saw a residential burglary, while a burglary at Mangakuri Beach saw various items stolen from a shed.

Mr Walker said the OngaOnga Golf Club was targeted, with money from an honesty box for green fees taken.

The OngaOnga Museum also had items stolen.

Anyone with information is asked to contact local Police, or report to the anonymous Crimestoppers line.
