Someone appears to have learned the meaning of “f#$% around, find out” after a motorcycle allegedly crossed the front lawn of Hastings Police Station twice in three days, with police later arresting a 22-year-old man during the investigation.
Police allege a motorcycle crossed the station’s front lawn about 9.30pm on Monday, 6 July, causing damage.
They say the motorcycle returned about 5.40pm on Wednesday, 8 July and again travelled across the lawn.
Search warrant leads to arrest
Investigators executed a search warrant at an Auburn Court address on Thursday, 9 July.
During the search, officers allegedly found a homemade firearm and arrested a 22-year-old man.
Police interviewed him over alleged firearms offences and expect to charge him at a later date.
Police have not said whether they believe the arrested man rode the motorcycle during either alleged incident.
The criminal damage investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online.
Riding across a police station lawn once may attract attention. Doing it twice tends to make the follow-up fairly predictable.
