Information sought over boat theft

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Napier Police want to hear from anyone with information about a boat stolen from Tyndale St, Onekawa, Napier, on Friday 3 August around midday.

The 18-foot fibreglass boat is white with a green stripe with the name Hallucination on both sides, and has an in-built six-cylinder motor. It was covered with a silver tarpaulin at the time it was taken.

One neighbour reported seeing two men take the boat. One man is described as 30-40 years old, approximately 5 feet 11 inches, and of a large build. He was reportedly wearing a red singlet and a grey shirt. The witness was not able to give a clear description of the second man.

The pair left the property towing the boat behind a dark blue Ford Transit van, registration UF5016, as seen in the picture attached.

If you have any information about the whereabouts of this boat or the men involved, we would like to hear from you. Call Napier Police on 06 831 0700, or information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

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)
.
