Burglary charges

Two Lower Hutt men charged with a raft of burglary and theft charges around the South Island, including Marlborough, were remanded in custody after appearing in the Blenheim District Court yesterday.

Anson Ray Kokiri, 30, of Lower Hutt, allegedly stole a vehicle from Alexandra on April 5 and the next day stole petrol from the Alexandra Caltex service station, his court charge sheets stated.

Kokiri and Robin Moxie Tehuatahi Awatere, a 24-year-old drainlayer, also from Lower Hutt, allegedly racked up a total of $576 on a stolen credit card during April 8 to 11 in Riccarton, including at a local motel. The pair are also accused of three burglaries in Blenheim between April 13 and April 14 and stealing petrol from Caltex and BP To Go in Kaikoura and Mobil in Tahunanui, Nelson.

Kokiri was further charged with driving while disqualified and Awatere was charged with intent to cause grievous bodily harm on an unrelated matter.
