Easter dummy leaves nurses stranded A tyre slasher targeted district nurses’ car in Cambridge – and left six vehicles out of action.
Tyre technician Matt Yelavich surveys the damage on one of six Waikato DHB cars that were slashed overnight on Sunday.
Police say they are checking on CCTV cameras in Shakespeare St in the hope they will identify the culprit. District nurse Denise Weatherby discovered the vandalism on Easter Monday. All the Waikato DHB staff cars at the Community Service centre had been slashed. The vandal is believed to have used a screwdriver, or even a dart, on a dozen tyres, the driver side of the vehicle in all cases. The fleet is used by Cambridge district nurses to visit patients. “You would think that people would see that they’re Waikato DHB cars,” Denise Weatherby said. “I was going out to see patients and didn’t have a car to go in.” After reporting the incident to Police, she resorted to using her private car to make it to critical appointments and rebooked all other appointments for later in the week. “It’s just really inconvenient, and annoying,” she said. “We’ve had to put patients off until tomorrow, we’ve had to prioritise patients, and try get cars for all our nurses.” Julie Bradbury, charge nurse manager for Waikato DHB community services, said Denise, who manages the Cambridge nurses, was “busy enough as it is” without having to deal with the fallout of the incident. “It’s very disappointing, our nurses are out there on public holidays trying to help patients. It’s very disruptive and stressful.” Cambridge District Nurses confirmed they did not have CCTV footage of the car park. Tyre Traders Cambridge were working to have the cars fixed by the end of Tuesday. “It’s pretty low to do it to the DHB cars, because we’re only helping people,” said Dawn Wirihana, a district nurse in Te Awamutu who used to be based out of the Cambridge office. She said a similar incident had happened at the Cambridge office around 10 years ago, where several DHB cars were slashed.
