"One of three boys yesterday arrested for their attempts at an amateur demolition derby using stolen cars was arrested again this morning after allegedly stealing and crashing a car in Otorohonga this morning.
Three boys, aged 14 and 15-years old, were arrested yesterday morning after police recovered two cars stolen from Hamilton and one from Mt Maunganui on O'Regan Rd, neat Temple View. All the vehicles were stolen and had been damaged.
Sergeant Andrew Connors of Otorohonga police said the 14-year-old boy was bailed after appearing in court then stole a Ford Laser from Hamilton early today.
"This morning we received a call about 5.30am about a car abandoned on SH31, outside Otorohonga, responding officers encountered three boys being treated by ambulance staff at the intersection of Honikiwi Rd.
"It turns out the 14-year-old driver had crashed the car into a bank and the three occupants abandoned the car, were picked up by a good Samaritan who called an ambulance, and they were dropped off at the intersection."
Connors said a 13-year-old travelling as a passenger in the car suffered neck injuries in the crash and was taken to Waikato Hospital by ambulance." Demolition boy arrested again -

I am now well comforted knowing that the truly righteous Minister of ACC, Nick Smith has my safety and well being as a motorcyclist at heart.I am filled with joy to know that not only has the government "ring fenced" 30 million $ of motorcycle levies for motorcyclists safety but that Dr Nick and his new mates from BRONZE, Usillies and ACC made that trip to Victoria to Study motorcycle safety.
Motor cycle levies well spent I would say. It gladdens my heart to know that my hard earned dollar has in part contributed to that overseas junket.
