Police Community Report –

May 21st 2015

I have had a number of people

ask me about the Police chase

with the motorbike this

weekend in Mangakino. This

idiot is top of the list, so lets

start with him. Police detected

a speeding motorbike along

Lake Road and he failed to

stop. Riding through our

streets in complete disregard

for other people’s safety, this

muppet went around a corner

too fast and fell off. He was

located in tears a few streets

away, arrested and has been

held in custody. This

behaviour is certain to be life

shortening.

During the weekend we

attended a domestic incident at

a rural address. The frustrating

thing is that this is a repeat

occurrence and the people

know what to do to avoid

conflict, yet they let their

emotions keep them arguing

and acting poorly in front of

family members. It is so

simple, ‘if you are getting wild

and angry, get outside and cool

off’. We should not have to

attend and remind people how

to handle pressure.

I have seen numerous hunting

vehicles in the area and we

have already stopped several.

Hunters are reminded that if

using firearms, make sure they

are lawfully and safely used.

Make sure you lock your

vehicles and do not leave

valuables in them. The final

point to make is to ensure that

you are hunting lawfully

where you are allowed and

have a permit. The excuse of

“I just followed my dogs into

this private block” will not

wash with us and the Courts

are sick of that excuse. Your

dogs, your control.

Remember if you see anything

suspicious or wish to let us

know about vehicles with

unrestrained children, you can

do so anonymously by calling

crime stoppers on 0800 555

111. To call our office it is 07

882 9070 (office hours only).

For all noise complaints call

882 8700 (during office hours)

or 0800 275 832 (after hours).

In emergencies dial 111. For

traffic complaints call *555.

Until next week, stay safe.
