United Softball Club’s storage<br />
shed in Broadhaven Reserve was<br />
burgled last Saturday.<br />
Its president<br />
Darryll Hamilton<br />
said about $2000<br />
in equipment,<br />
including bats, balls,<br />
helmets, bases and<br />
catchers’ gear was<br />
taken.<br />
Mr Turner said<br />
the golf club lost<br />
$12,000 in computer<br />
equipment, gear<br />

safe.<br />
Parklands Rugby Football<br />
Club president Bevan Stewart<br />
said there has been “an absolute<br />
spate” of burglaries in the area<br />
and the Pukeko Centre has had<br />
projectors, weed-eaters, drills,<br />
meat packs and lollies taken.<br />

face cover and lighter clothing –<br />
trying door handles. The person<br />
with their face covered seems to<br />
have accessed the building and<br />
the footage shows them exiting.<br />
Mr Turner said<br />
footage from the<br />
golf club burglary,<br />
showing one person<br />
on its premises with<br />
their face covered,<br />
had also been handed<br />
to police.<br />
But Detective<br />
Reynolds said it was<br />
too early to comment<br />
on the specifics of<br />
the investigation<br />
and would “rather<br />
not say” if police had<br />
received any leads.<br />
“Unfortunately, though, we<br />
have issues with the CCTV, so<br />
we’re just working through that<br />
at the moment.<br />
“Obviously, we have to assess<br />
everything and see if there are<br />
any lines of inquiry that we can<br />
put out to the public.”<br />
