Arrests after<br />
gate thefts<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
POLICE HAVE made a major<br />
breakthrough over farm gate<br />
thefts in the district, arresting a<br />
man and a woman from Oxford.<br />
A police patrol stopped a vehicle<br />
in the Darfield area about 3.30am<br />
last Wednesday which led to the<br />
arrest of a 37-year-old woman<br />
and a 38-year-old man. A large<br />
number of stolen farm gates were<br />
found on their property, said<br />
Senior Sergeant Harker.<br />
He said the gates were being<br />
sold on social media.<br />
The arrested pair will face a<br />
number of charges in the Christchurch<br />
District Court on <strong>August</strong> 24.<br />
“It was the great work of<br />
Constable Hamish Caird of the<br />
Darfield Police that led to these<br />
arrests.”<br />
Police were patrolling the area<br />
specifically looking for those<br />
responsible for the gate thefts.<br />
Harker said anyone who has<br />
had gates stolen but have not<br />
reported it should phone the Darfield<br />
Police.<br />
There have been about 20-30<br />
incidents of gates and fencing being<br />
stolen across <strong>Selwyn</strong> over the<br />
last few weeks.<br />
This includes seven incidents<br />
over one weekend.<br />
