Twelve homes in Hastings, Havelock North and Flaxmere were broken into during the weekend. The burglaries followed nine others in Havelock North since mid-October.
Senior Sergeant Greg Bradshaw said that, in several cases, windows and doors were left open. People going out for the night also left homes dark – an open invitation to burglars, he said. "These clowns just drive around and see there is a house with no lights on."
