Police hunting for stolen Mercedes and ten firearms

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
