This photo goes back to the 1981 district centennial celebrations - 100 years since the Lady Jocelyn landed in Tauranga with settlers destined for Te Puke aboard.
On the back of the photo is written: “Scott Flatt (President of the Paengaroa Lions Club) all tied up at Pukehina.”
There is no information on who the photographer might have been, or who the bandits are.
