The stolen vehicles were found being driven around the Raglan area early this morning, and police said they believed it was connected to plans to burgle local commercial premises.

One of the vehicles was spiked, and three offenders were arrested near Ngāruawāhia while a further three were apprehended in a second vehicle near Pukemiro.

All six appeared today in the Hamilton Youth and District Court.
