A 13-year-old, two 17-year-olds, and a 29-year-old were arrested as a result.

Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Neilson says the group's offending has spanned several months.

"Offending such as aggravated robberies has a real impact on victims, their families, and the community.

"A considerable number of resources have been involved in the operation, and today's outcome is a good result."

The 29-year-old will appear in Hamilton District Court today facing charges of theft, unlawfully using a motor vehicle, and driving while disqualified.
