A local couple returning to their home in Opaki Kaiparoro Rd about 5.30pm on Thursday startled a man who had broken into their house. He bolted before police arrived, though not before he had drunk a bottle of beer and munched his way through some camembert cheese.

An hour later, a resident in nearby Loop Line Rd alerted police to a man hiding in bushes outside his house.
