Speaker 1 (00:11):
Welcome back to the master. I don't think everybody wants
to rule the world, but a few people do. But nonetheless,
if that was the case, Senior Sergeant Gary Yddington out
of the Gore Police here wouldn't be enough hours of
the day trying to sort everything out.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hell sugs, Yeah, good Andy, thanks and hello to the
community now from.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
The Gore Police. We even spoken for a few weeks. Scary,
but I did say you guys be out and about
drink driving and the likes at the moment, just catching
riverlers yeap.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Just it's that time of year. We're just asking people
just to sort of, you know, have a great time,
just be safe, think about the consequences and planning eatings
and social events. Unfortunately, we've got a lot of checkpoints
out there at the moment and we are actively targeting
people for drink driving and trying to avoid the police.
That includes boy racers. And also another thing we just
(00:58):
want to mention toy in mind is the liquorban area
in the Gour main street there and around just around
the licensed premises. If you're self loading court drinking alcohol
in the van, you're probably gonna get stopped and expected
a two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Fine, So how far does that liquor band extend to
and goore?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So it probably goes onto the if you look on
the map, you can get it at the council. But
it's sort of just short of Norfolk Street all the
way through touring, including the main street all the way through,
and there's obviously ma Toda as well, just the main drag.
So it's just if anyone's court driving or in a
van drinking alcohol, or anyone's sort of walking the streets
(01:36):
with an open vessel drinking, and you'll be breaching the
liquor van.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So what we're saying is here to have a plan
B in place. If you're going out for a few
bivies this season, be respectable. There are liquor bands and
force and have a plan B if you're having a couple.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Right, yeah, just enjoy yourselves, don't be sort of don't
make some silly decisions because the life changing as we
know and we just want people to see in the
new year is important to us at this tome of
here and in all years, so I just trying to
make sure people understand that and have a great time.
But just think about and plan now.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
As far as boy racers and vehicles and the likes,
are we seeing a surge in this kind of activity
as such.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, we've got people out there at the moment quite recently,
just a very small amount of minority. They think it's
a bit fun, fast and furious driving on the roads.
And unfortunately it's not like the films. It ends up
with serious injuries or fatals. And again we're just asking
people that you know, cars a weapon. If you're going
to drive, you like it, so will be taking your license,
will be taking your vehicle, and you know, and sometimes
(02:38):
it's twenty six months depending on the circumstances. What we're
asking people is if you've you tempt to flee the police,
you know, it puts yourself at risk, the public at risk,
and obviously there'll be consequences.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
What are the requirements for a vehicle will be pink
stickt or red stickt on the spot? Gary, How does
that process work?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It varies pink and green stickers, but it depends on
the danger and what the default is. So you know,
if you've got bold tires, you know, obviously breaks aren't working.
That's quite serious, so you'll be looking at pink. If
it's something that's minor but needs looking at or going
to VTNZ, then you know less it will be sort
of a green sticker. But if you remove it and
(03:19):
don't get it done, it's quite a few thousand dollars,
which you know is better in your pocket. It's just
it's all about safety as well, making sure vehicles are
safe on the road.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Now fifts as well, especially at this time if your
unfortunately you said occurs twelve months of the year, but
leading up to the Sully season, Gary, unfortunately, we see
a lot more of an that take in this.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, there's opportunitiest fiefs out there at the moment, and
what we're saying to people is just making sure your
cars a lot, you know, and if you're leaving things
that we know, make sure they're lot not no property
or any sentimental install view. Take it with you or
lock it up. If you're in the houses or you're
going away, making sure that someone's looking after your house,
neighbors keeping an eye on it. If you've got cameras,
(04:00):
that's great, and make sure newspapers in your postbox canceling
them so it just makes life more difficult for the
for these people out there that go around ruining people's lives, Well.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's the beggar, isn't it. If you're going away for
a few days or a few weeks for that matter,
get somebody to may your lawns, keep your mailbox as clear,
don't order any packages, and the likes and you who
are if you are able to have some cameras in play,
so just let your neighbors know, look them away for
a couple of days. If you can keep an eye out,
there'll be grouse.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Absolutely. And if there's people acting suspicious ring it in,
if it's urgent like one one one or crime stoppers.
You've got someone going up your driver, actors suspicious, you
think they're going to break in, that's urgent. So we
need to know about that and we can we can
act at the time as opposed to after the fact
and try and catch them. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So one of those numbers again, this triple one, the star,
triple five. What else have we got, Gary, We've got uh.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, one oh five in the crime important line. So
if you've got something that's happened and it's like the
next day and there's no witnesses, yeah, it's not urgent
then can in one oh five CRL Crime Important line
and it just you know what happens is once it's
been reported, it goes into the system and then it
gets allocated that said area and this case being Gore,
and then it's a signed out for investigation. Crime Stoppers
(05:14):
is a hundred number. So I just picked things you
want to report in the community, but you want to
stay anonymous, you can bring that through there. Just make
sure you have the full detail. If there's driving out
there and it's really really bad and you think someone's
going to get hurt or you know they're doing dangerous
overtakes and that that would potentially look at one one one.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And just finally as well, scams with technology and the
elderly and just the vulnerable in general. Just look out
for people and net scenes as well. Help your parents out.
They're a bit older and a bit shy of technology.
There's a lot of people out there trying to be
a Nigerian prince or princes.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, we're still getting the odd one to it still
keeps coming this Tommy here. Yeah, they'll make they'll target
the vulnerable and you know it's their life savings. They've
worked hard all their life and these I got to say,
these people that are just the dregs of society don't
care overseas and they just won't pill with lives and
put them into a dark space. If you think you've
been scammed, we're not sure. Contact your banks, speak to
(06:11):
a family member coming to the police station. But we
need to make sure it's you know, get it done
as soon as possible, not wait for a few days.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Senior Sergeant Gary Yeddington of the Good Police, we always
appreciate your time on the muster. You enjoy the afternoon.
