The Team from Manawatu, Taranaki, Whanganui-Ruapehu Police

Police investigating the burglary of a business in Palmerston North on Saturday are seeking the public’s assistance locating the vehicle that was stolen from the property.

On Sunday 7 December, Police received a report of burglary that had occurred on Saturday 6 December at a commercial property on Domain Street.
A red 1994 Holden HSV Clubsport, registration: HSV425, that was undergoing restoration was stolen from the address.

“This is a very distinctive vehicle and I’m sure someone in the community will have seen it,” Constable Maskery says.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
