Two people are before the courts after separate incidences of police recovering stolen property in rural Canterbury.

Late last month police arrested a man accused of stealing the front gates of a home in Rangiora.

He was remanded in custody and is due to reappear in court later this month.

And on 3 June, a woman was taken into custody at a Swannanoa address after police found three vehicles that had been reported stolen.

She's due to appear in court at a later date, charged with receiving property.
