At least 14 new imported sliding doors and other items stolen from a demolition company’s yard near Napier appear to have slipped off the face of the earth with no trace four days after the thefts were reported.
Police said today (Wednesday) that none of the stolen property had been recovered.
Two burglaries were reported to have been committed at the Demolition 1 yard in Briasco St, Awatoto, overnight on Saturday and Sunday.
About half of the doors and frames were stolen in each burglary - the hot water cylinder was taken in the first, and more than 30 electrical sockets were also missing after the second raid, which happened early on Sunday morning.
