Raglan Police report for April from Raewyn McLACHLAN, Constable RMJ440, RAGLAN
On the local front, there have been thefts from cars at Ngarunui Beach and also in town outside Valentes on Wainui Road. Offenders for the Wainui Road theft ex car have been identified and will be charged with several offences this week. These offenders are also responsible for the theft of a backpack which was left unattended on the Harbourview Hotel verandah bar on Friday night.
The vehicle outside Wainui Road was left unlocked and the vehicle at Ngarunui Beach had the key “hidden” under a rock. As is often the case, both thefts could have been avoided. Lock boxes can be purchased that attach to vehicles to keep keys safe while at the beach.
