A 25-year-old man's six-month crime spree left a trail of his fingerprints, DNA, and surveillance video images. In January 2018, he was with a group that smashed a stolen Toyota Hilux through the front gates at a property at McLeans Island in Christchurch. His thumb print was found on a vehicle stolen from Christchurch, and found damaged in Governors Bay. In one burglary, a Porsche Carrera sports car worth $250,000 was taken. The crime spree came to an end early on June 7, 2018, when Peters and another person were disturbed breaking into a car in Shirley.
