JOHN (GARETH) HANCOCK STOLE THIS FAMILIES CARAVAN

Lee from Napier South

John Gareth Hancock (Gareth) STOLE THIS CARAVAN.
PLEASE CAN YOU HELP?????

Hi,
This is a family caravan and was kindly rented to him due to the housing crisis. He despaired with it. Caravan sadly not insured :-(
Its a 1970s 16 foot retro Oxford caravan (Pale yellow which looks white from a distance with a green stripe, salmon cabinetry and burgundy curtains) The van has blue patterned upholstery and light fawn coloured walls. Has been stolen by a guy apparently names John Gareth Hancock (Gareth) in Hasting HB. Sounds a mad up name but I viewed his licence. I viewed his licence assuming its legitimate.
The kids and I have been driving around for hours trying to find it.
Police cant find him even through the drivers licence number I gave them. he comes up as not fixed address and he has been in jail a few times.

Due to the privacy act the police reckon they cant get details through Winz, IRD or any other means. Incredible!!!
He said he works for Stu Young motors but that doesn't seem to exist. One of the staff members there had one go missing and it ended up in Porangahau. So it could be anywhere.
He also put down on the paperwork that it was going to 1500 Railway rd Paki Paki but the people there know nothing, the place was as he described (security surveillance, gated, big sheds etc). The residence had a boat go missing some time ago.

CAN YOU HELP?...He mistakenly sent me a text message re-diggers so am trying to get hold of digger businesses. Hes not answering his phone and now it goes to voicemail.
Hes given heaps of false details so it looks as if it was planned from the start.

First the caravan was taken to Sylvan rd but an abusive woman there (Turns out shes related to him after denying knowing him to police) is not helping.
In an argument we had she lied then admitted she knew where he is. Even though I recorded the argument the police said they cant make her tell!!
The Police have since told me (when they told her I was spreading the word on social media). that she was going to QUOTE: Smash my head in!
This guy John (goes by Gareth I think) apparently does deliveries in he mornings. This could be all lies.
Didn't get car rego as I was crazy busy at the time..PLEASE spread the word and share so we can catch these scummy humans..THANKS

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
