Police are investigating the theft of equipment from a locomotive at Ashburton railway yard sometime between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning.

Police were advised at 11am on Thursday morning that a large quantity of equipment, including 24 railway detonators, a fire extinguisher and a hand held communications radio were taken.

“The detonators are placed on the tracks to act as a warning there is an emergency ahead. They are pressure detonators, so when a train runs over them, they explode as a warning,” says Senior Sergeant Matt Emery.

“Our concern is if these items are found by someone who doesn’t understand what they are, they could cause serious injuries.”

The detonators are round, orange and marked as ‘Explosive.’

Anyone with information is asked to call Ashburton Police on 03 307 8400 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Coping strategies for earthquake-affected children

The way you parent has little effect on post-traumatic stress your children may be experiencing, research shows.

University of Canterbury researcher Dr Kathleen Liberty says parenting styles account for about 2 to 5 per cent of the variance in childhood post-traumatic stress disorder.

This knowledge should reassure parents who believe their children's trauma and anxiety arises from the stress the Canterbury earthquakes have placed on many families, and remind schools dealing with quake-affected children not to engage in "parent shaming", Liberty says.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
