Man arrested following string of robberies

Nelson Police have arrested one person after executing a number of search warrants in Tahunanui and central Nelson yesterday.

The warrants were in relation to complaints of intimidation and taking of property across the area.

A 36-year-old man has been remanded in custody and is due to appear in the Nelson District Court on 23 September, charged with aggravated robbery.
