Enquiries are continuing into the burglary of a Queenstown
jewellery store on Sunday 21 April.
Police have now
established that a car which fled from Police in the Dipton
area that night - that we believe may be linked to the
burglary – had a rear registration plate (LQL818) which
had been stolen from a rental vehicle (a red Toyota) in
Queenstown.
The car involved in the fleeing driver
incident is now believed to be a grey Toyota Corolla, which
had also been stolen from Queenstown. It’s actual
registration is KHN571.
Police believe that the
offender in the Queenstown burglary is travelling in the
grey Toyota Corolla, and we’re appealing for any sightings
of the vehicle in the Queenstown or Southland areas since
Sunday night.
If you have seen a grey Toyota
Corolla, with either registration number – LQL818 or
KHN571 - please call Queenstown Police on 03 441 1600.
We would also like to hear from anyone who has any other
information which could help us identify and locate the
offender for this burglary.
Information can be
provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

How much political capital is Christopher Luxon willing to burn through in order to deliver his $2.9 billion gift to landlords? Evidently, Luxon is: (A) unable to cost the policy accurately. As Anna Burns-Francis pointed out to him on Breakfast TV, the original ”rock solid” $2.1 billion cost he was touting to voters last year has now blown out to $2.9 billion. (That’s a 38% size error in the calculations.) (B) unable to provide assurance that this handout won’t simply be pocketed by landlords (C) unable to explain why Treasury (in research as recent as August 2023) wasn’t citing the loss of interest deductibility as a prime factor driving up rents. More than anything, the Great Landlords Handout undermines the government’s alarmist talk about the state of the country’s books... More
