Crime scene: Shearer loses tools

A Scottish competitor in this year's Golden Shears competition has had the tools of his trade stolen from a Duke St, Three Kings, house and he's keen to get them back.

The shearing gear was in a hard silver briefcase and included two Hienger handpieces, one marked '39' and the other '64', 120 diamond cutters with the date 09/05 engraved on them, 100 combs with various engravings, and three comb pouches in red, yellow and black.

If you know where any of the items are, phone Constable Laura Irvine at the Ponsonby Police Station on (09) 359-3100.
