Police are yet to identify the man behind "senseless" vandalism that has put three of the four pumps out of action at a petrol station supplying some of the cheapest fuel in Napier.
The vandalism happened early on Saturday morning, when CCTV surveillance captured images of a man smashing the consoles and keypads at Allied Petroleum, an unmanned 24/7 station in Hyderabad Rd, between Pandora and Ahuriri.

Mid-afternoon yesterday there was a constant queue of about five vehicles, among them a taxi driver who described the vandalism as "senseless ... especially because it's the cheapest petrol in Napier."
