Police Report

Season’s Greetings!

We are well and truly into the Christmas build up with Santa taking time out of his busy schedule to pay us a visit on Friday evening.

Unfortunately he is not the only visitor to come calling lately. We are seeing a rise in the number of burglaries and thefts from unlocked vehicles (again). As we have mentioned several times, LOCK YOUR CAR. This past week there have been 5 reports of thefts from cars and they were all left unlocked. Burglaries to houses and garages are also on the rise and with the added allure of presents under the tree. Please do all you can to ensure your property is secure when you are out and at night. We are following up on some forensics and in the past week have apprehended at least one active burglar however there are still active offenders out there.

Retail staff please be alert for counterfeit notes which are currently circulating in the Tasman district. Specifically $100 notes. If you suspect someone has presented one of these to you, if possible please retain the note and call police.

Lastly, we would like to thank those who have generously dropped off some delicious Christmas baking to the staff. It is very kind of you, although I have to limit their intake so they can still chase the bad guys hehe!!
