Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen suspicious activity at the Bluff Hill lookout in Napier last Saturday to contact them, as inquiries into the theft of about $3000 from a car owned by a woman visiting the region continue.
Ariadna Maskiver has been on a working holiday
in Hawke's Bay and had been picnicking at the bluff, which is one of her favourite spots, with a friend.
They were away from the car for about an hour and upon returning they found thieves had helped themselves to everything inside it - including wallets, passports and a $1000 camera.
Ms Maskiver said she had been shattered by the theft which had spoiled her visit here.
Soon after the incident her credit card was used several times at a Napier supermarket - racking up a $400 bill. It is also understood her camera may have been briefly advertised on a Facebook page, before the post was taken down.
