Extra shows added
Whangarei Girls' High School has added two extra dates to their graduation production Waiora. The play, written by Hone Kouka, was first performed by the school in May but due to high demand it was brought back. It is the first time one of the school's Year 13 graduation productions has returned for a second season. The last show was expected to be Sunday but because of popularity the school has added two more shows on Thursday and Friday at 7pm. To book phone 021 076 3683.
Cars targeted
Two cars were broken into, and an attempt was made to get into a third, while the occupants were swimming at the Takahue Domain on Sunday afternoon. One of the victims said the offenders may have been disturbed while trying to break into the third vehicle, after smashing the rear windows of her car and another. It was not clear whether anything had been taken, but an attempt had been made to hot wire one of the cars, which would need significant repairs. The incident had been reported to the police.
Woman attacked
Kaitaia police are investigating an alleged prolonged assault on a woman by her partner on Sunday. She claimed to have been kicked until she fell to the floor, struck on the head with a printer and punched in the head several times. The victim had a protection order against the alleged offender
