Thieves target Bay tourists

Police investigating the burglary of two campervans in the Bay of Plenty are appealing for information.

Tourists had property stolen from their campervans in two separate incidents in Rotorua on Monday.


Police are appealing for information about two burglaries in the Bay yesterday.

Bay of Plenty Police have posted an appeal in their Facebook page asking for anyone with information about the thefts to come forward.

One campervan was broken into on Long Mile Road about 12.20pm and the other was at Okere Falls at 2.30pm.

'If you see anyone acting suspiciously around vehicles or property we encourage you to call 111 so we can respond and prevent these crimes rather than attending after the event,” reads the post.

'On this occasion tourists were targeted and we want them to remember New Zealand as a great place to visit not because they were a victim of crime.”

People with information about the thefts can contact their nearest police station.

Alternatively, information can be left anonymously via the Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 line.
