10.00 pm Saturday night a bag of newspapers was set alight at the rear of the bookshop in Goldfinch Street, Ohakune. The fire was put out before any damage was caused to the premises and police would like to hear from anyone with information on this (06-385-855 1 ). • There were several minor crashes during the week mostly due to high speed in the icy road conditions. • Several driving complaints were received and followed up and despite the

road conditions the speed camera has been very active in our area.
