Crime scene: Faulty red chainsaw taken

A Husqvarna chainsaw taken during a burglary in Northcote on February 23 may cause problems for anyone who tries to use it.

The owner says that with its current unreliable mechanism, the tool could be lethal or at least cause serious injury.

If you have been offered a red chainsaw second-hand or know where it is, phone Acting Sergeant Glenn Boyd of Takapuna police on (09) 488-6223.
