Summary
Historical WWI and WWII plaques from Mitchell Park in the Eastern Bay of Plenty vanished twice—stolen, returned, then stolen again—before being recovered once more, but badly damaged. Police have charged a 52-year-old man with theft and receiving, with court next month. This isn’t the first time metal theft has hit the area; authorities are partnering with dealers and urging the public to come forward with tips. These plaques honor local sacrifices and their repeated thefts reflect a deep disrespect. Community help is vital as police work to stop this ongoing crime wave.
