Reported Sunday, 12 April 2020 at 12:42 am, Bower Avenue, Parklands, Christchurch 8083, New Zealand.
The reporter’s words
We saw a car drive out of the Forest. Then went to the gate that is usually shut into forest and open it and drive off, without their lights on, I believe they saw us. To start at the beginning: We where probably 50 meters away, on the otherside of the playground coming from the track the follows the fence line of houses. Stopped as we heard a car abs thought.. Strange sounds like it's in the forest, then they came up to the gates with lights off, opened it and drove off with lights still off, up Bower Ave. We walked over and noted that they had undone and taken off the big metal bolt that connects the big metal wire. Had taken a video. So screenshot the images to show. This was at about 10.35pm, Saturday 11th April. We were walking the dogs. So they have damaged the gate or noticed previous damage and took advantage of it to be able to drive into the forest. It was a dark looking colour and looked to be an old hatchback.
