It brings the number arrested to 19, with a total of 10 people facing charges. They range in age from 21 to 52.
Most are charged with unlawfully taking a vehicle or receiving stolen property. Three are also charged with breaches under the Health Act.
Sixty-nine of the company's vehicles have been recovered of those that went missing from the Mangere yard over the weekend.
Most were found at addresses throughout South Auckland and a few were being driven and recognised by police as stolen.
Police say a handful of other cars owned by a different company were damaged at the same yard.
