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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
