Hair pulling, tools thrown in neighbours' gardening dispute

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hey Otago neighbours,

A spot of gardening turned violent as neighbours pulled hair rather than weeds.

Police were called to a neighbourly dispute at Coolock Cres, in the Dunedin suburb of Waverley, about 3.30pm on Sunday.

Acting Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said the dispute centred on the boundary of a garden, and led to a minor assault and threatening behaviour.

That included a woman throwing her neighbour’s plants and gardening equipment down a hill, and some hair pulling.
