Christchurch demolition workers caught with goods

Demolition workers in the Christchurch CBD have been caught with goods which did not belong to them.

Two demolition companies lost their accreditation for the red zone after the incident.

Civil Defence national controller Steve Brazier said police saw the employees behaving suspiciously.

He said they were in places they should not have been and in one case they had goods on them which they should not have had.

Mr Brazier believes police will be taking further action.

He will not name the companies but said there have been no problem with them before.

Around 70 firms have accreditation to be in the red zone.
