STOLEN CARAVAN BY JOHN GARETH HANCOCK

Lee from Napier South

JOHN GARETH HANCOCK AND HIS RELATIVE KELLY HANCOCK STOLE THIS CARAVAN. John rented this family caravan briefly then vanished with it. Police said I could name him.
PLEASE CAN YOU HELP?????
1970s 16 foot Oxford caravan (Exterior colour is: Pale yellow which looks white from a distance with a green/teal stripe between the windows, salmon cabinetry and burgundy curtains) The van has blue patterned upholstery and light fawn coloured walls. Has been stolen by a guy apparently names John Gareth Hancock (Gareth) in Hasting HB. Sounds like a made up name but I viewed his licence so assumed it was legitimate. Caravan not insured :-(
Police cant find him even through the drivers licence number I gave them. he comes up as not fixed address and he has been in jail a few times.
He said he works for Stu Young motors but that doesn't seem to exist. Ive tried Young Motors but hes not employed there. One staff member there said they had a caravan stolen and they found it in parongahau while on a job.
He mistakenly sent me a message re-diggers so am trying to get hold of digger businesses. Hes not answering his phone and now it goes to voicemail.
Hes given heaps of false details so it looks as if it was planned from the start.
First the caravan was taken to Sylvan rd. On return to this address when the caravan vanished an abusive woman there Kelly hancock (Turns out shes related to him after denying knowing him to police) is not helping. In an argument we had she lied then admitted she knew where he is. Even though I recorded the argument the police said they cant make her tell!! Police have told me she has now threatened to quote: Smash my head in!!
This scummy guy apparently does deliveries in the mornings. Didn't get car rego as I was crazy busy at the time moving..PLEASE spread the word especially out of town re-businesses, accommodation places, storage sheds etc...Thanks so much and PLEASE SHARE this post. REWARD IF RETURNED.
CONTACT ME OR HASTINGS POLICE. THANKS

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
