Police investigating the burglary of a business in Palmerston North on Saturday are seeking the public’s assistance locating the vehicle that was stolen from the property.

On Sunday 7 December, Police received a report of burglary that had occurred on Saturday 6 December at a commercial property on Domain Street.
A red 1994 Holden HSV Clubsport, registration: HSV425, that was undergoing restoration was stolen from the address.

Constable Maskery says initial enquiries to locate the vehicle have been unsuccessful and Police are now seeking the public’s assistance.

“The vehicle doesn’t have any of the side windows fitted, including the quarter light windows, and is missing all badges and decals. It has 20-inch spoke wheels and custom brakes and has just had a fresh coat of red paint.

“This is a very distinctive vehicle and I’m sure someone in the community will have seen it,” Constable Maskery says.

If you have seen this stolen vehicle, or have any information that could help us locate it, please contact Police immediately through 105 either online or over the phone, and reference file number: 251208/3820.

Information can also be provided through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

A local landlord in Riccarton https ://www.enviroflo.co.nz/ |booked what was meant to be a simple, routine CCTV drain check, | just a bit of peace of mind for a tidy, well-kept rental. But under that neat garden and solid paths, our camera told a different story…

We found several cracks and offsets in the old ceramic drain lines, likely hidden damage from the 2010–2011 quakes. Nothing too dramatic yet, but it was only a matter of time before things got messy.

Luckily, the property still had an EQC (now Natural Hazards Commission) claim on record. Our team stepped in to help the owner with the process, and before long, the repairs were fully approved and sorted at no extra cost to them.

We replaced the damaged sections, tidied everything up, and left both the tenant and landlord relieved they’d caught the problem early.

Moral of the story: sometimes a “routine check” can save you a lot of stress (and cash) down the line!
