Ten firearms and a late model Mercedes worth $100,000 have been stolen from a Hawke's Bay property.

The car, a silver 2014 Mercedes Benz E 250 vehicle was taken from the Taradale property over the weekend of July 14 and 15. Also stolen from the address were 10 firearms.

Detective Amy Renall said a team of officers was working on tracking them down. "Someone is going to see that car somewhere. Someone is going to show-off and talk about driving around in this incredibly flash Mercedes," Renall said.

Renall said anyone who sees the car should call 111 or contact Renall at amy.renall@police.govt.nz.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
