An Auckland criminal has picked the wrong house to ditch their home detention bracelet - chucking it on the property where a National MP lives.
Kim Choe took to social media after finding the tampered ankle bracelet among rubbish dumped in a hedge outside her home.
The apparent monitoringbreach was never going to go unnoticed - Choe's husband is National MP Chris Penk: a successful lawyer who is also the party's courts spokesman.
Penk is also a member of Parliament's justice select committee.

Six days into a month-long documentation of trash dropped on my verge or stuffed in the hedge. Majority non-biodegradable - would otherwise clog drains or wash out to sea. People are trash. pic.twitter.com/qr3UmgnnKc
