Letterbox
drop in the Riccarton area a hoax
Overnight in the
Riccarton area, a mailbox drop has been completed which says
that the Christchurch City Council is to acquire residential
properties from their owners under the Public Works
Act.
The letter, which contains logos from both the
Christchurch City Council and Westfield Riccarton, is a hoax
and should be disregarded by property owners.
It appears
that the letterbox drop has taken place on about four
streets behind Riccarton Mall.
Christchurch Police have
been alerted and are now investigating the incident.
No
Council or Westfield representatives have been talking with
any residents in the
area.
