Tyson Red Gray pleaded guilty in the Christchurch District Court in June to 24 charges. The charges include 12 counts of burglary, participating in an organised criminal group, two counts of theft, four charges of unlawfully using a document, theft of a motor vehicle, receiving stolen goods and unlawfully getting into a motor vehicle.
The group involving Gray, all between the ages of 19 and 26 at the time, burgled houses in Christchurch, Prebbleton and Kaiapoi. The other five members have all been convicted.

Hundreds of mini fairy homes appeared on trees at Bottle Lake in April, adding to a small pre-existing collection.
Where the creations first came from remains a mystery, but making them became a popular pastime for children and families during lockdown, and now they need to be moved due to logging in the area.
Christchurch City Council has set up a working bee for 10am on Tuesday 29 September, where families are invited to help with the relocation.
“They’ve brought a touch of magic to the forest,’’ forest ranger Warren Hunt said.
Hey neighbours,
A scarf, a pair of gloves and a bag of lollies. That was all Jackie Qiu sold at her Christchurch souvenir shop last week.
The three sales amounted to $21.19 (scarf $10; gloves $5; lollies $6.19 down from $6.99). A normal winter week would see her sell $2000 to $3000 of stock, but … View moreHey neighbours,
A scarf, a pair of gloves and a bag of lollies. That was all Jackie Qiu sold at her Christchurch souvenir shop last week.
The three sales amounted to $21.19 (scarf $10; gloves $5; lollies $6.19 down from $6.99). A normal winter week would see her sell $2000 to $3000 of stock, but most of Qiu’s customers are international tourists, reduced to a trickle since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Sales are down more than 90 per cent.
“I still need to pay rent, and then I still need to pay mortgage, “ she said.
Remember to support local businesses folks.
Hi Cantabs,
A new car park being planned for Christchurch Hospital is expected to provide a further 450 spaces – still almost 1000 short of what experts feel is needed.

A new car park being planned for Christchurch Hospital is expected to provide a further 450 spaces – still almost 1000 short of what experts feel is needed.
Years of inadequate facilities around the central city hospital have seen staff threatened with fines for parking on nearby Hagley Park, medics camping out in their cars to secure spots and nursing staff attacked at night during lengthy walks back to where they have parked.
Plans for a new parking building are expected to be announced by the Government in the next few weeks, and National’s deputy leader and Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee said he had been reliably informed the proposal offers 450 spaces.
Does 450 spaces sound like enough to you?

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the September 4, 2010 earthquake. A decade on, what are some of the biggest changes to Christchurch since then?
Our photographers returned to the sites of some of the worst damage wreaked by the magnitude 7.1 earthquake five years ago. They returned again this year – 10 years since the quake struck – to see how much the sites have changed.
What's changed most for you? Give us your thoughts below.
Does anyone have Photoshop 2020. I am thinking of buying it and would love to chat to someone who has it.
Kind regards
Trish
