Palmerston North GUNS THEFT Sentence Announced:

A J Harris - a returned deportee from Australia - was sentenced today for the theft of 26 guns and ammunition from the POLICE STATION at Palmerston North.

- His defense lawyer said that his "SUPERSTAR" client "had a mischievous side to his character"

Harris had lived 39 years in Australia since being taken there when a baby. - He does have five children in Australia.

..  while the Judge Lance Rowe said a cultural report showed Harris, of Muaūpoko descent, had evidently suffered from the same kind of deprivation showing the intergenerational marginalisation of Māori deprivation as a previous offender ..

- what a load of bollocks!

Is This An Australian Trying Not To Laugh?

Harris, who drove-off with eleven (or 9 or 13 perhaps?) guns, ammunition & drugs stolen from the Central District Police HQ was sentenced to two years and three months prison.

- Do I need to comment further?
