Hi Margaret,

Have had a few incidents of attempted cattle rustling in Burnside / Wech Access Makarau.  Early hours of Wednesday morning.

Where a light coloured sedan – Nissan Fair Lady is involved and possibly a bright blue late model coloured Ford.

Can you please pass on to all your rural contacts in the area.

I will get together details to pass onto you also so you can touch base.

Cheers,

Mandy

!! Warning: Cattle almost shot on Wech Access Rd !!

Hi everyone

This is an email to alert you all to be vigilant as early this morning a man was seen about to shoot a cow in a paddock on Wech Access.

He was startled as he was lining up to take the shot so he fled with his partner in a light coloured hatchback car.

This happened around 3:30am. Please take care and alert the police or your neighbors of any dodgy activity. Try and get a number plate if possible.

Cheers

We saw a small white dog chasing our sheep on the hills between Wech Access and Martin Access

We believe it comes from West Coast Rd
We will have to call the dog ranger if we see it again
