Hello, here is what has been going on.

A staff party was held on Monday evening. On the whole it was pretty good and only two people got removed. Prior to that soiree there were some fiscal reminders handed out to keep to the speed limit, ride a motorbike that you’re licensed to ride, and don’t drive a vehicle on a road when you’ve told NZTA the registration is on hold.

Tuesday saw reports of the Lake Hāwea Library having rocks thrown through its windows. Shameless really.

If you know anything get in touch with us. Also, if you did it, get in touch with us.

A family harm matter was attended.

Wednesday daytime had a few driving complaints dealt with and some restricted drivers given incentives to not carry unauthorized passengers.

A search warrant was carried out in the evening and some items of interest were located including a car that failed to stop for police some weeks ago.

A family harm matter was reported on Thursday.

Driving complaints came in as did a civil dispute.

Some firearms were taken pending the results of an inquiry into the owners suitability to have a license.

A late night call out to an individual from out of town causing problems refusing to leave a bar resulted in them getting pepper sprayed and an appearance in court.

The stop sign narrative was followed up on Friday and a few reminders given out so hopefully some driving behaviour improves. Various other police work filled in the day.

The evening was good with only a large group of people causing a fracas at one of the bars.

Saturday evening had us looking for a stolen car from over the hill. We didn’t find it but the team in Queenstown did. A few drunkards out and about gave us grief when we did not acquiesce to their request for a ride home. They started out nice asking for a ride home but when told we were unable, their gremlin side came out. Shocking behaviour really.

Sunday had a bit of day time disorder on the main street. Thankfully some colleagues nearby were able to assist us in removing the individual out of the public realm. At the station, the individual proclaimed himself ‘King’ and decided clothes were optional for him. Once we were able to locate his family, we were able to release him and they kept tabs on him.

The evening saw two speeds of 80km/h in a 40km/h zone dealt with. 1km/h away from an automatic license suspension.

Take care everyone and have a good week.
