Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Brand, of Auckland City East CIB, said a search warrant was executed this week.
The arrested teen has been charged with three counts of burglary - one of them linked to a ram raid at a Newmarket retailer on Saturday.
The others relate to burglaries in the Botany Town Centre last Tuesday.
The teen will appear in the Manukau Youth Court later this month and police are not ruling out further arrests and charges.
"The community can be sure that police will continue to investigate each instance of a burglary or ram raid style burglary occurring," Brand said.
"Our staff continue to work hard to hold these offenders to account."
He said inquiries are continuing and police will be looking to make further arrests.
