Vandals who left a trail of destruction after a party in Kerikeri are being urged to front up and fix the damage so the birthday girl doesn't have to.
Every street sign along a stretch of Kerikeri Inlet Rd and Wharau Rd was either pushed over or covered in spray paint on Saturday night. The graffiti is a combination of obscene symbols and birthday greetings.
Letterboxes were also targeted in the wrecking spree.
The vandalism is unlikely to go unnoticed by police because an officer lives next to the worst of the graffiti. The damage occurred after a combined 18th birthday party in the area.
The event itself was well supervised, with parents acting as security on the gate. Police received no complaints relating to the party.
