Prevent theft from your vehicle
Police have noticed a developing trend of vehicles being broken into in parts of Napier. Tools from tradies’ vans and mag wheels from cars have been the targets in Napier Hill, Meeanee, and Napier South.
Police are encouraging tradies to get their tools engraved with their drivers’ licence number, so if the tools are recovered, we can return them. Community Patrols of New Zealand in Taradale is offering to engrave tools for free.
For owners of mag wheels, security locking nuts can be bought from auto stores.
If anyone’s vehicle has been targeted, or if people have information which would help catch these offenders, please call Police on 06 831 0700. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers via 0800 555 111.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
