North Shore Police investigating burglary of car yard

North Shore Police are investigating the burglary of a workshop belonging to a prestige car yard, in which a number of expensive cars were stolen.

On the night of Saturday and Sunday 9-10 July, a workshop belonging to Tristram European in Wairau Park was broken into.

The premises contained around 30 high-end European cars.

A total of 9 late-model cars, including a Shelby Mustang, an Audi S6 Sedan, three Volkswagen Amaroks and a Volkswagen Crafter Van were stolen.

On the Monday following the burglary, an eagle-eyed member of the public saw four of the cars, including the Shelby Mustang, parked in a nearby underground carpark.

He reported his suspicions to Police, who attended and discovered that the cars had in fact been stolen the day before.

Two days later, another car was found abandoned in a residential street in Glendene.

Four of the cars though remain outstanding;

-2016 A white VW Crafter van (rego JYJ506)

-2016 A black VW Golf GTI (no rego as it wasn’t yet registered in NZ)

-2012 A black Audi S6 Sedan (GNU869)

-2006 A blue Toyota Yaris (rego DKG824)

“We’ve carried out a number of examinations on the cars that have been recovered and we have quite a few lines of enquiry that we’re looking at,” North Shore CIB detective said.

“At this point in time though I can’t speculate on what the cars have been stolen for, or where they might be headed.

It’s fair to say that we have a number of possible scenarios that we’re looking it” he says.

Information can be given anonymously to the organisation Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik...
