Taupo Police are investigating the theft of a large number of mag wheels and a Go Kart from a commercial Taupo address earlier this month.

Between August 5 and August 13 thieves have entered an old car showroom, and uplifted approximately 25 sets of mag wheels at a value of $1000 per set and two sets of mag wheels for a race car valued at $1000 per wheel.

The offender(s) have also removed a Go Kart, described as a KT100 series, coloured blue.
