Arrest And Property Recovery Following Hastings
Search Warrants
The following can be
attributed to Detective Senior Sergeant Martin
James:
Hawke's Bay Police continue to put
pressure on burglars this week by executing a series of
search warrants in the Hastings area.
Police were
delighted to recover two Cevelo racing bikes that were
stolen from a Havelock North property in 2016.
The bikes,
worth over $7,000, were not insured and the owner had given
up all hope of seeing them again.
Also located at the same
address was an engagement ring and a Tag Heuer watch stolen
during a burglary at Maraekakaho on Tuesday morning.
A
46-year-old man was arrested and charged with burglary and
will appear in the Hastings District Court on Monday 2
October.
Police would like to assure the public that they
are committed to reducing burglaries and bringing offenders
to account.
If anyone has information relating to
burglaries or other criminal activity in Hawke's Bay, please
call us on 06 873 0500.
Information can also be provided
anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555
111.

In that respect, Uffindell’s defenders on the streets of Tauranga risk sounding a bit like the psychiatrist Kargol played by Graham Chapman on Monty Python. Some of the media commentary has also noted how the Uffindell saga has taken the shine off National’s good poll results and distracted us all from the unveiling of an important welfare policy at the recent National Patty conference. OK… So let's put the spotlight back on that welfare policy...
