Police seek information and sightings of a vehicle in Queenstown Hanley’s Farm Estate

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

Queenstown police are asking anyone who saw a Mitsubishi Triton Ute, similar to the onein the attached photo, driving in Hanley’s Farm Estate during the early hours of Sunday (March 31) to come forward.

The vehicle is red, and has the registration number FYZ871.

Police also urge the residents living in the estate - particularly on Lincoln Rd, Howden Drive, Barn Rd, Woolshed Rd, Drysdale Rd and Plough St - to check their CCTV cameras for any footage of this vehicle about 3.30am to 5.50am on Sunday.

Police are currently speaking with the vehicle’s owner in relation to a motor vehicle collision incident.

However, police believe additional information from the public will assist further with their inquiries.

Anyone with information relating to this appeal is asked to call police on 105 quoting file number 240331/6283.

Information can also be provided anonymously by calling CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.
