Poisoned pōhutukawas in Arkles Bay
Hi neighbours. You may remember our story on the three poisoned pōhutukawa trees by the beach in Arkles Bay. Two weeks after the story went to print, we received $1500 and an anonymous confession note. Auckland Council and police have been investigating, but haven't been successful in identifying the culprit. If you have any information, please contact police on (09) 426 4555.
