What’s on

breaking further.

An officer from Howick Police visited the Times office at about 11am to take photos of the rock and inspect the damage.

The Howick Village Association (HVA) was also informed.

It’s believed the rock, which appeared to have white paint on it, was brought to the scene by whoever threw it through the window, as there are no rocks of its kind in the immediate area.

Anyone who saw suspicious behaviour near the Times Newspapers’ office in Central Terrace overnight on May 17, or who has information on the act of vandalism, can phone Howick Police on 105.
