Radio station break-in man ordered to pay reparation

A Palmerston North man has been ordered to pay for the damage he caused at the Radio Network building in Napier last week.

Announcers at the radio station were confronted by a man last Friday, after he broke in through a window at the top of the fire escape in the two storey building.

Twenty-nine-year-old landscaper Conor Gerard Downey was charged with being in the building without a reasonable excuse.

Downey appeared in the Napier District Court this week, and was ordered to pay $100 in reparation to The Radio Network
