"Gutting": Charity garage sale may be scrapped after a burglary

Organisers of a Rotorua charity garage sale are considering canning it altogether after a burglary. 

A car, trailer, and small donated items were allegedly stolen from the sale's storage area at Ngongotaha Railway Park over the weekend. 

Small electronic goods were discovered missing from the containers. 

Ray White Rotorua co-owner Tim O'Sullivan told Mike Hosking he suspects this wasn't opportunistic. 

He says they did all the right things in terms of how they broke in, and the yard was locked up, but it didn't deter them. 

Police say a 27-year-old man has been charged with the burglary and is due in court tomorrow.
