They want people who have had their properties or vehicles tagged to call police in a bid to gauge the extent of the vandalism committed. Police are dealing with six youths aged between 13-15 involved with the vandalism that occurred on January 28. At least two cars and three fences were vandalised, along with a tool shed broken into at Aidanfield where an axe was stolen and found lodged into a lawn. It is suspected further tagging took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The vandalism took place in the Aidanfield/Westlake/Halswell area. Hornby police youth aid worker Senior Constable Bruce Ward said police are uncertain about to the extent of the damage done. But he said in the past police have found people do not report incidents of tagging when they should be. •Turn to page 6 233 Riccarton Road Phone 341 5419 “Easiest to find Denture Clinic in Christchurch” Pardon?! *Terms and conditions apply.
