Kathleen from Opotiki District

Please be aware if your child has new caps on their bike and you have not paid for them they are possibly stolen. The photo shows what they may look like but they do come in different colours. This is an opportunistic theft and can happen anywhere your car is parked. So be aware if you see new caps on your kids bike ask questions because these caps are not cheap to replace.

What do plastic bags, gumboots, corrugated iron and dirty nappies all have in common? They have all turned up in kerbside greenwaste bins in Whakatāne recently.
