Wānaka Police have dealt with a range of issues this week, from serious assault to someone grazing from the supermarket bulk bins - and even a “swift escape” from a group of men who broke into the Glendhu Bay Holiday Park air cushion in order to jump on it.

Wānaka Police acting response manager Dylan Hannah-Jones says police have spent a few days cleaning up “after people have made pretty average decisions while on the booze downtown”.

Two men were arrested for committing a serious assault in the early hours of Saturday morning (June 21) on Ardmore Street.

“Another man was arrested after making threats towards someone, and we are investigating after a doorman was headbutted in town,” Dylan said.

In addition, police apprehended four drunk drivers over the weekend. 

“Remember, a tuktuk to get home is cheaper than taxis for six months after you lose your licence,” Dylan said.

Police also attended four crashes in the Cardrona Valley where some drivers ran out of grip in bad conditions and ended up upside down or turned around.

“Please slow down and be patient,” Dylan said.

Police trespassed the man who was found eating from the bulk bins in New World. 

“They aren’t there for your eating pleasure – it is considered theft. Police will have a focus on theft from our supermarkets, especially as we enter the busy winter season.  

“Hungry thieves beware.”

Dylan posed the question: Are you ever too old to jump on an inflatable cushion? 

“The temptation was too much for three men at the Glendhu Bay Holiday Park who broke into the locked box that contained the air pump, inflated the cushion, and had a play,” he said. 

“They managed a swift escape into the darkness before police arrived.”
