Three men are due in the Auckland District Court today on charges of aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery after a burglary in Remuera.
Police said a trio aged between 18 and 23 broke into an Abbotts Rd property on Friday morning and threatened a person before fleeing in a vehicle.
The police helicopter followed as they drove south towards Ōtara.
The vehicle was later abandoned and three suspects were found and arrested.
