🚧 Horizons Regional Council have closed the Makino floodgates to divert floodwaters away from Feilding. They expect to open the Moutoa floodgates at about noon on Monday to protect Horowhenua properties from flooding.

Our advice from throughout today still applies:

✅ Move items away from areas of your property that usually flood.
✅ Clear gutters and drains where it is safe to do so.
✅ Bring inside anything that could be lifted by strong winds, or tie it down securely.
✅ Bring pets inside where possible.
✅ Charge phones and devices.
✅ Stay away from areas at risk of slips.
✅ Move livestock in low lying areas to paddocks that are safe from floodwaters, landslides, isolated trees, and power lines.
✅ If a landslide occurs, keep well clear - further movement can happen without warning.
✅ Stay out of the water and away from beaches.
✅ Be prepared to move to higher ground if needed.
✅ Secure boats and trailers properly.

Outstanding work by Feilding Police. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CDCzjGnvc/

Police have arrested 18 people as part of Operation Thor, a targeted operation focused on burglary, theft, vehicle crime, fi****ms offending and drug activity in the Feilding area.

Over the last two months, Police have carried out a series of search warrants and enquiries and as a result, several arrests have been made, stolen property recovered as well as fi****ms, ammunition and drugs seized.

The operation, led by Sergeant Mike Linton, was launched in response to a rise in offending and information from the community about repeat criminal behaviour across the Feilding area.

Sergeant Linton says Operation Thor is about preventing harm and targeting those causing harm in our town and wider community.

“Our focus as a team is on identifying offenders who are driving crime in Feilding and disrupting that behaviour,” he says.

“This operation shows what can be achieved when crime is reported and Police work closely with the community. This is just the beginning, and we will continue to target and focus on those causing harm and offending here.”

Several male and females aged between 18-30 are facing a range of charges including burglary, theft, unlawful possession of fi****ms, possession of drugs and further charges are likely as enquiries continue.”

Police will continue working on Operation Thor and hold those to account who offend in our community.

Police encourage anyone with information about crime in their area to contact Police on 105 or report anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

In an emergency, call 111.
