A honey cart owned by a New Zealand man facing cocaine trafficking charges in Australia has been taken by a man who claims to be owed $5000.
West Coast beekeeper Roy Arbon, who used to sell honey outside the Greymouth library, is in a remand prison in Australia while awaiting
his next court appearance.
In the meantime, his cart has been taken by Kumara Junction man Robin Bradey, who claims Arbon left him out of pocket.
Mr Bradley said the beekeper had stayed with him for about 12 months but had not paid rent.
In a letter from prison in Perth, Arbon alerted the Greymouth Star to the 'theft' of his cart, but Mr Bradey said today he took it some time ago and has been trying to get hold of Arbon for the past four or five months to tell him he would get it back when he paid the rent.
