I have been trying unsuccessfully to find out information re a sheep rustling incident in Hawkes Bay circa 1929. I believe that the culprit (my father then aged 18) received a prison sentence. I presume that there would have been a report of this in one of the HB papers. Is this the correct place to post a request for this type of info? Sincerely Jaci Harris

Yes Jaci, just a quiet list for chatting... You might want ot check the NZ National Archives archway.archives.govt.nz Also Papers past might cover this time frame. Does anyone know where police archives are kept?

Re Sheep Rustling HB. My father's name was George William Roach, born Tikokino Nov 1910. At age 18 was convicted for sheep rustling and I think was given a term of imprisonment. This puts the offence c1929. Any info re this would be appreciated. Roach stores in HB - family connections.
