Three Cromwell residents have been arrested and charged with various offences, in relation to a burglary in the town on Sunday.
About 4.30am, a door at Transmission Direct, on Melmore Tce, was kicked in.
Pouch tobacco and cigarettes were taken.
Constable Maude O'Connell said two adults, a man and a woman and a young woman were arrested.
Police were also trying to locate an out-of-town resident believed to be involved.
The three people arrested would appear in the Alexandra District Court next week, she said.
Also, a 21-year-old Alexandra man was arrested in Cromwell yesterday after allegedly shoplifting in the town.
He faced a single charge and would appear in the Alexandra District Court on March 10, Const O'Connell said.
