Big props Lower Hutt Police

[boon]

My friend\'s Forester got stolen from his driveway at 3am this morning... 15 minutes later the perp was in custody, nearby patrol car pulled it over on a hunch. Nice to see a good result for once!

Awesome great to hear!

Way to many in wellington recently.

Had the car even been reported stolen by that stage?

Yeah it was rang in almost right away - owner was woken up when engine started. No idea if it had made it to the local police in that timeframe though, although you\'d like to think so!

And to think, it was only just re-insured in the last week!

Too much to hope cops dished out a Rodney-King style beat down as perp resisted arrest???

If only.

To be honest I\'m staggered that the guy actually pulled over when the cop car flicked on the lights.

Good chance he thought it hadnt been called in.

Nice to hear a happy ending once in a while
