Central Hawke’s Bay Police would like to hear from anyone with information about the theft of a large number of road cones.
Sergeant Neil Baker said the road cones were taken from a construction worksite in Gaisford Terrace Waipukurau last week.
Mr Baker said it was concerning as this type of behaviour could have serious consequences for other motorists, and the public, who use the road.
He said cones and road signage are set up to provide safety for everyone and this theft puts everyone in danger.
Anyone with information about this theft is encouraged to contact local Police or call 105 with information.
