Up to $100,000 of<br />
goods stolen in break-in<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
A JETBOAT and karts are<br />
among the up to $100,000<br />
of items stolen from a<br />
property in Coalgate.<br />
Businessman Allan<br />
Rhodes and his partner<br />
Lisa Bullock are offering a<br />
$5000 reward for information<br />
leading to the conviction<br />
of the offenders and<br />
return of the items.<br />
The items were stolen<br />
from a warehouse they<br />
own in Bridge St.<br />
“We’ve had a lot of<br />
burglaries over the years<br />
but his one is the worst.<br />
They have taken anywhere<br />
between $60,000-$100,000<br />
of stuff,” he said.<br />
•The reward will<br />
be available on<br />
information given to<br />
hamish.caird@police.<br />
govt.nz<br />
The list of items taken<br />
includes a Yamaha jetboat,<br />
a six-wheel-drive Argo,<br />
four karts and a large red<br />
off-road buggy.<br />
Mr Rhodes was the<br />
owner of the well-known<br />
Hororata Homestead<br />
which was badly damaged<br />
in the September 4, 2010,<br />
earthquake.<br />
The 7.1 magnitude quake<br />
tipped his son Xavier<br />
Trousselot-Rhode out of<br />
his first-floor bedroom and<br />
onto the ground outside.<br />
The historic homestead<br />
was later demolished and<br />
the property sold.<br />
Mr Rhodes was called in<br />
early <strong>January</strong> by a Bridge<br />
St resident who said the<br />
warehouse had been broken<br />
into.<br />
“He said: ‘Your locks<br />
have been cut’. He went<br />
and put some brand new<br />
locks on for us and then<br />
the next morning he rung<br />
and said they had been cut<br />
again.<br />
“There’s lots and lots<br />
of gear that’s been taken,<br />
some we haven’t been able<br />
to list. Well over 30 years<br />
of collection of different<br />
things we have.”<br />

The annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic drew in a big crowd last Wednesday. More<br />
than 1200 people plus their teddies turned up to take part in the festivities at the<br />
Rolleston Reserve and Community Centre. The event was a part of the district<br />
council’s Summer in <strong>Selwyn</strong> programme. A spokeswoman said: “Children<br />
enjoyed face painting, the pedalmania bikes, and jumping on the bouncy<br />
castles amongst other fun activities. The teddy bear parade was a highlight for<br />
many and the biggest in the event’s history to date.” <br />
