Police appeal for information about stolen ATV

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police are asking to hear from anyone who might have information about a side-by-side motorbike that was stolen from Whakatu, Hastings, sometime overnight between July 26 and 27.

The red and black Polaris Ranger ATV 570, which is the same make and model as the one pictured, was stolen along with a tandem trailer. It belongs to a local elderly couple who use the vehicle to do water, soil and conservation work in the community.

If you have seen a vehicle like this for sale, or have any information that might help, please get in touch.

You can email Senior Constable Pehi Potaka at pehitane.potaka@police.govt.nz (link sends e-mail), contact the Hastings Police Station on 06 873 0500, or give information anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
