Suspicious fire at Upper Hutt College - Can you help Police?

Reporter Upper Hutt Leader

An investigation is underway into what caused an Upper Hutt College building to suffer "extensive" damage after a fire broke out on Sunday evening.

Emergency services were called to the blaze just after 11pm, which had ignited in a wing of the technology block.

No students are at the school today due to a pre-scheduled mid-term break, but a decision will be made later today as to whether the school will be open later in the week.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
