Fake dog control officer issuing notices in Hastings
A fake dog control officer is dishing out notices from a book of council forms that went missing in mysterious circumstances.
Several dog owners living in a rural Hawke's Bay area received the paperwork on Hastings District Council letterheads last week.
The notices, written by a Dog Control Officer named 'Sam', refer to breeds of dogs that the people do own and states that they were on the road and unregistered.
