Rural theft in Southland
Police are hoping to spark vigilance in residents of rural Southland in relation to using electric fence reels for winter grazing near roads.
We’ve been alerted to several incidents recently where electric fence reels are being stolen from rural properties.
Several single and triple reels have been stolen from Drummond, Dipton and Ryal Bush areas over the last three weeks.
We recommend reels are placed as far away from the roadside as possible, and keeping them out of the sight of potential thieves.
If you are a victim of theft, we urge you to contact Police as soon as possible, as this helps us to build a picture of offending, and discover trends.
This includes reporting any suspicious activity – call 111 if it’s happening now. Please stay vigilant and report anything of concern to Police.
We would like to speak to anyone who may have information that will assist our enquiries into stolen reels.
Anyone with information that may assist Police can contact us by calling 105, or making an online report at 105.police.govt.nz, using “Update Report”, please reference file number 240704/8171.

A reminder to drive safer
Police are reminding motorists of the importance around following distances following a multi-vehicle crash on the Dunedin Southern Motorway yesterday.
Senior Sergeant Karl Hemmingsen, Otago Coastal Area Road Policing Manager, said Police responded to a three-vehicle crash on the Dunedin Southern Motorway at Fairfield around 8:20am this morning.
“Luckily, there were no serious injuries sustained in the crash, however it did create significant disruption for motorists, with a few people likely to be late for work this morning.
“The road has been cleared and since reopened; however, it is a good reminder of the impact sunstrike can have on our morning commutes this time of year.
“Police are asking motorists to keep their following distances in mind when driving to your destination, a larger gap between you and the car in front of you is often the difference in being able to safely stop, or crashing into the car in front of you, if they stop abruptly," Senior Sergeant Hemmingsen said.
This morning has already seen six crashes causing disruption to motorists across the Southern District, with variable conditions across the Southland, Otago Coastal and Otago Lakes areas.
This is an urgent reminder to pay close attention when driving on the roads, and drive to the conditions, increase following distances, slow down, and put your distractions away.
We want to see everyone getting to their destinations safely.
