Reward for return of years' worth of recordings stolen from Napier musician
Napier musician Kieran Taylor is devastated after having a decade's worth of irreplaceable music recordings stolen, just weeks ahead of his band's first official gig.
"I came back from my break about 3pm and noticed my computer was gone, had a look around and saw my flatmate's computer had gone and realised we had been robbed," he said.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
