       A man has been arrested and $50,000 worth of jewellery recovered
       following a burglary in Motueka yesterday.
        
       Detective Constable Kelvin Heiford said police were alerted to the
       burglary on High St just before 4am on Tuesday morning.
        
       A ute had allegedly pulled up outside the store and drove away a short
       time later.
        
       The vehicle was eventually found on fire at 5.45am at the intersection
       of Whakarewa and Queen Victoria streets.
        
       A 32-year-old man was taken into custody and has been charged with
       burglary and unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
        
       He was due to appear in the Nelson District Court this morning.
