Rural theft in Southland

The Team from Southern District Police

Police are hoping to spark vigilance in residents of rural Southland in relation to using electric fence reels for winter grazing near roads.

We’ve been alerted to several incidents recently where electric fence reels are being stolen from rural properties.
Several single and triple reels have been stolen from Drummond, Dipton and Ryal Bush areas over the last three weeks.

We recommend reels are placed as far away from the roadside as possible, and keeping them out of the sight of potential thieves.
If you are a victim of theft, we urge you to contact Police as soon as possible, as this helps us to build a picture of offending, and discover trends.

This includes reporting any suspicious activity – call 111 if it’s happening now. Please stay vigilant and report anything of concern to Police.
We would like to speak to anyone who may have information that will assist our enquiries into stolen reels.

Anyone with information that may assist Police can contact us by calling 105, or making an online report at 105.police.govt.nz, using “Update Report”, please reference file number 240704/8171.
