Six youths have been arrested after a burglary in Herne Bay in Auckland early on Saturday morning.

Detective Sergeant Ash Matthews said just after midnight officers responded to report of the robbery at a commercial address on Jervois Road.

A stolen vehicle was used to gain entry, he said.

The young people were alleged to have entered the premises and took a number of items before fleeing in a different vehicle.

One of the vehicles believed to have been used during the incident was found a short time later on the Southern Motorway.

Police spiked the vehicle in Manurewa after the occupants failed to stop for officers.

Matthews said a number of the stolen goods had now been recovered.

A youth is due to appear in Youth Court today on several charges.

Five other youths have been referred to Youth Aid.
