Stolen cattle

Nicola from Awapuni

Hi everyone, we have just had 4 400kg heifers stolen from our front paddock last night. We have no race or yards. They pushed the girls hard into the landlords builders yard and the hoof prints stop at their gate. I guess they backed up a truck or something big enough to hold them on and pushed them on. We are just lifestylers so have no expensive insurance. Two of these were our food for our family and two were pets to breed from that my daughters hand raised. They are extremely upset, as am I. This has been premeditated to know where and when to do it. Police and Nait have been alerted. Please, if you hear of cheap beef or someone bragging please let me know, my children are so devastated. We just want our babies back. UPDATE they have been found, they were pushed out of the paddock but obviously got away, many thanks to all, we are very fortunate to have found them.

Stolen Pot plants

Audrey from Milson

Last week on my return from a few days away a green 33cm shrub tub of petunias was missing from the front of my garage,
Today a 39cm terracotta tub of orange pansies and a 33cm shrub of pansies was mmissing from alongise my driveway in Fairs Road.
I have reported these losses to the police.
Should anyone notice that neighbours suddenly have pots or tubs of flowers, either call the police or ask them to return them. They know where they got them.
