Over recent months Police have noted a sharp increase in
the number of motor vehicles being stolen in Invercargill
and throughout Southland.
Vehicles targeted are
earlier model Mazda’s, Nissan’s, and
Toyota’s.
It is believed a group of Invercargill
youths are responsible for many of these vehicle thefts and
recent burglaries targeting Vape stores in Invercargill and
Winton.
Three of the group of youths are before the
youth justice system and Police are continuing to
investigate and hold others responsible to
account.
Police would like to hear from anyone who has
information to call 105 or crime stoppers anonymously on
0800 555 111 and reference file number
231101/8120.
Police ask that owners of vehicles,
particularly those mentioned, be vigilant ensuring their
motor vehicle are locked and if possible, securely parked
overnight.
Consideration should be given to installing
an immobiliser or an additional locking device.
If
anyone witnesses any suspicious behaviour around vehicles,
please call 111
immediately.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal.
