2 Tuesday July 17 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk THERE’S A top rugby league story on page 9 today, involving names from the past and ones to watch for the future. Halswell club teenagers Tanner Smith and Cooper Te Hau are carrying on a family friendship which spans generations. Their grandfathers Norm Geddes and Peter Smith played with and against each other in the 1970s, and their fathers, Arthur Geddes and Pat Smith shared a similar friendship and rivalry on the field. Pat’s name is of course synonymous with Canterbury rugby league. It’s his name on the trophy presented each year to the winning grand-final side. I remember following the Papanui Tigers as a kid in the 1970s, who Norm Geddes played for. A very handy sort of player. - Barry Clarke GENERAL ENQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO Box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi NEWS Anan Zaki Ph: 371 0777 anan.zaki@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Alana Powell Ph: 962 8753 alana.powell@starmedia.kiwi sport Family friendship Love of rugby league brings four generations together.

WESTERN NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday July 17 2018 3 News ‘Door-stepping’ warning in west • By Anan Zaki A GROUP of young teenagers are suspected of stealing from properties in Broomfield, Hei Hei, Hornby and Wigram. The eight boys and one girl, all aged between 13 and 15 have been taking items sitting on door steps and other parts of properties. Senior Constable Bruce Ward said the offences were burglary. He wants people who have had property stolen to come forward to the police. Finding the Bruce Ward owners of the stolen items could help connect the suspected teens to the crime in order to charge them, Senior Constable Ward said. People often blamed themselves when items get stolen after being left outside and do not report to police, he said. “They go: ‘Oh well, served yourself right,’ but it’s actually worthwhile. If someone has committed burglary, we want to know.” RECOVERED: Police have several items believed to be have stolen recently including this Avanti bicycle and Nike Air Jordan sneakers. Some of the stolen items were recovered after a parent of one of the suspected boys came forward. But the owners of the items were needed to prove they were stolen. The recovered items were an Avanti bicycle, a Razor scooter, a pair of Nike Air Jordan sneakers and a another pair of Nike running shoes, the Senior Constable said. “The Air Jordans are worth $300 and was stolen around Hei Hei Rd . . . they are really new,” he said. The suspected youths called the act “door-stepping,” he said. “What they mean by that is, at night time they go house by house and see what they can find . . . and of course it’s burglary when they go on another property to steal,” Senior Constable Ward said. Three of the youths who the police suspected were involved are currently before the Youth Court facing unrelated charges of assault and dishonesty. Some of the stolen items may have been sold or listed online on Facebook. “That is a line that we’re investigating. At least three of them smoke cannabis and they’re not getting money from their parents, so it’s pretty straightforward [how they received the money],” Senior Constable Ward said. •If the recovered items belong to you or if valuables were stolen from outside your property, phone Senior Constable Bruce Ward at the Hornby Police Station on 363 7435.
