Speaker 1 (00:02):
Dead boy.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
What's he going to do? What's he gonna do when
they come for you? Bad boys?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Bad boys?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What's he gonna do? What's he gonna do when they
come for you? When you work eight and your head bad?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So welcome back to the Master on Hackno. The song
is bad Boys, Boy in a Circle. Especially for our
next Gise Senior Sage and Gary Yeddington other God police
who requested and I might here. Good afternoon, Gary.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, good afternoon to the community.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's a hell of a joone. It's very apt, right
the good police. How's everything being lately?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Busy farm probably have seen the news. Obviously we're doing
excute some search ones recently and some drugs. Yeah, we've
got a few of the rural burglars at the moment,
and we just want to sort of put some refresher
in minded out there to people, you know, to report
stuff and obviously, uh, you know, if there's any information
that can lead to hold offenders accountable, all the merrier.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
He has been well document around the busts that occurred
in the region last week. Are you able to give
us a bit of information about what actually went on there?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I can tell you it's a lot of hard work
beyond the scenes with both the community the staff, you know,
to get to that stage. We're going to be targeting
people that are dealing drugs or trying to hurt people
in the community. And what we're saying to is just
to look over your shoulder and we'll be looking at you,
so obviously you won't know when we're coming.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Gary. As far as the drags saying in Gore, I
suppose drugs exist and I made a way you go
in New Zealand from a policing perspective, what is the
actual situation.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Well, like you say, I think drugs is everywhere. It's international,
it's all over the world. Unfortunately, people making money at
other people's expense. It has a huge implication on services
medical and also the families and also people get so
hooked on stuff but they end up committing crime to
feed the headits. And you've got people out there just
deal drugs and they don't really care. So that's one
(01:59):
we want to take off the road.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So your your big message to people out there who
are stuck in a relationship and this is an issue unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, absolutely, And if you if you know a do
in town, or you know anyone around or a further afield,
you've got crime stoppers, you can bring it in confidentiality
and you know we'll be more and happy to knock
on doors.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Now as far as rural, we're all hearing about the
situation around fuel at the moment and unfortunately opportunist opportunistic
fees popping up around on farms. So this is a
great message to get out there, luck your tags, lock everything.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah. Yeah, it's probably just taking another step back and
just realizing that we're on hard times at the moment
around around the world with the Middle East and the
knock on effect it has. So what we're just re
messaging and refreshing people out there in the communities is
to like you said, lock up your bows at browser
bowsers and make sure that you know you take you know,
lock your tools away, make life difficult for them. There's
(02:57):
people actively out there who are unfortunately are togs in
vulnerable properties and we want to try and catch them again.
If anyone knows who they are, we're suspicious if it's urgent,
one on one crime stoppers. If it's so you want
to remain anonymous. One O five.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Are you noticing a trained around rural burglaries.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Lately, there's sometimes there's some patterns. We have had some
good results recently, but we continue to try and carry
on with that as well. So it's just sporadic, but
there is people out there quite recently are actually you know,
stealing power tools, stealing copper wire, and sometimes when they
(03:35):
steal the wire, they're putting lives at risks, you know,
like people who are medical, you know, they take telephone
wire or something like that and someone's on a medical alarm.
It can affect someone getting urgent assistance.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Likes the copper fift scary is are they quite common?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Come and go, But there is people out there, and
there's people in our community are stealing copper things start
getting harder money and what we're asking they just it
is out there, but we just want to try and
catch them.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now. Drink driving, that's one thing that good police is
very proactive around us checkpoints from a policing perspective, Gary,
what's the response.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
beIN, Yeah, I mean, unfortunately we've had a few more
over the weekend, but we do it every day and
we don't sick to thirsty Fridays anymore. What we're doing
is we're doing checkpoints, they'll just turn up people trying
to avoid them, just be worrying that we'll be watching
you on the turn offs as well. And unfortunately a
few people this week under the age of twenty with
high readings. And anyone under twenty is just not to
(04:34):
drink at all, full stop, and no drink drive in
to anyone else. It's just one of those things where
we've had a few crashes and I keep we keep
saying some having a repeat conversation. It just doesn't get
into some people's brains. You know, don't drink and drive.
It's quite simple.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
As far as the under twenty situation is. It quite
a disturbing number getting caught.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I wouldn't say disturbing number, but one's bad enough. Never
mind you know, two or three or four. So we're
just trying to make sure peop won't to stand the
legislation having a license to the privilege is not given
and affects work, affects everything, So just think before you
actually act.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And the other thing as well, we like to reitererate
Gary is around scams, especially for the more vulnerable in
our community.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yep, there is the scams egon harder and harder and
more plausible. We're just reminding people out there that if
you do get scamming, you know, go to your bank
as soon as possible, tell your family, and just make
life really difficult. If you get a phone call and
you're not happy, put it down and just don't answer it.
Absolutely don't answer it because there's a lot of people
losing life savings. They watch about fifty five thousand dollars
(05:39):
or less. You know, it's a lot of money and
you're never going to get it back.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Driving habits, how have they been? I mean we're coming
into the call of months now. It's probably a good
reminder for people as well, just the due diligence around
heady phrase checking everything's up to speed coming into winter.
But from your angle, Gary, driving habits and Gore and
South and particularly how are they Yep, there's.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Always for improvement. It is the majority the minority that
ruins it to the majority. But what I would say
is if you are driving vehicles as a driver, you
are responsible for making sure the ties the cars legal
offt red Joe and and sort of roadworthy and anyone else.
Because if you're driving it, you're driving it. And some
of the roads like the gravel roads, especially in the
(06:20):
winter and the rain we've had can be just as
dangerous and slippy. So we're just saying watch the speed,
make sure you wear seat belts, you know, and don't
drink and bive, and just make some good decisions and
get home, get there and back safely.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Absolutely, Gary, hey will let you carry on. Always appreciate
your time, and the Gore Police police in general doing
a great job down here in the South. Thanks as always.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, thanks Andy, Thanks to the community as if really
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Laugh out loud with ag proud because life on the
land can be a laughing matter.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Brought to us by sheer Well Data working to help
the livestock farmer. And a hotel restaurant, a men sees
an attractive woman sitting alone at the next table. Suddenly
she sneezes and the glass eye flies out of her socket.
It hurdles past the man, who snatches it from the
year like second slap bush gag, and hands it back
to her. This is embarrassing, the woman says, as she
pops her eye back, and I'm sorry if to have
(07:12):
disturbed you. Maybe boy you dinner to make up for it.
May join you. He nods he's here. They'd be cool.
The woman is in a stimulating conversation, stunningly pretty, and
they discover they've got a lot in common. He gets
her phone number and asks, you the most charming woman
I've ever met. Are you have this nice to every
guy you meet? No, she replies, you just happened to
catch my eye. That's ask for the afternoon. The podcast
(07:36):
is up shortly on iHeartRadio Mendyma. The Muster is brought
to you by Peter Jenellis. Enjoy the afternoon, see you tomorrow.
Dead boy.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
