Have you come across any booby traps on Waimakariri beaches?
Nails hammered into sticks are being set as booby traps for whitebaiters in a popular North Canterbury fishing spot.
Third-generation Waikuku whitebaiter Kelly Sintes said a relative found a stick with three large nails sticking out of it on the access track leading to the Ashley/Rakahuri River from the Waikuku side last Saturday. It had been placed directly on tyre tracks.
A Waimakariri District Council spokesman said the incident had been reported to the police because a walker or pet could have been injured.
"This is the first time we've seen something like this and we want to warn people who use the area to please be vigilant.

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.
