Plumber turns detective to catch thief

Updated 2:16pm Saturday 26th July 2014 in News

A PLUMBER turned detective to catch the thief who stole tools from his van when he recognised the description of the burglar and identified him as a former school pal.

Wayne Richmond was caught when Amar Majids neighbour told him about a burglar he saw breaking into his van on May 26.

Just a month after the burglary, Richmond tried to sell expensive guitars which had been stolen from a Heaton home.

Steve Woodman, prosecuting, told Bolton magisttrates how Mr Majid discovered his tools, worth 1,200, as well as an ashtray and 20 had been taken from his Toyota van during the night.

When he found the ashtray in a nearby garden, the quick-thinking plumber put it in a plastic bag and called police.

After a neighbour told Mr Majid about seeing the thief, the victim tried to track him down, finding a tile cutter at an address 43-year-old Richmond had lived at.

Richmonds brother then returned the rest of the tools to him. After his arrest Richmond, who has a lengthy criminal record, claimed he had bought the tools but then admitted he had stolen them from the van after his DNA was found on the ashtray.

A month after the theft, musical instruments worth 8,000 were stolen from the home of a merchant seaman while he was working abroad.

Atascadero, CA (PRWEB) July 26, 2014

To help celebrate summer 2014, the friendly professionals at North County Plumbing, an Atascadero plumber, are offering timely tips to help their existing and new customers throughout San Luis Obispo County conserve water, avoid costly water damage, and find help in a hurry when emergencies arise.

With water shortages topping the headlines throughout most of California, the urgency to conserve this precious resource has given rise to a new way of thinking for home and business owners when it comes to maintaining their property.

Water is a vital resource and, with rainfall levels remaining low, we have all become more aware of how even a small leak can lead to waste, loss and damage over time, says North County Plumbing Owner Paul Garcia. Local, family-owned and operated, the business has provided service throughout San Luis Obispo County since 1997. During the summer months, we tend to see an increased number of broken water pipes throughout the county.

The reason for this increase, according to Garcia, is the sometimes-drastic changes in temperature that often occur its not unusual for a homeowner in Atascadero or Paso Robles to experience 40-degree weather in the early morning hours and then feel the outside temperature rise to 98 by mid-afternoon. This can wreak havoc on already-weak water pipes and may result in a small crack becoming a full-blown water disaster inside or outside the home.

Garcia and his knowledgeable, professional staff of Atascadero plumbers at North County Plumbing offer the following tips for home and business owners:

When it comes to preventing water damage, time is of the essence, so we want to remind all of our customers in Atascadero, Paso Robles, and throughout San Luis Obispo County that North County Plumbing is available to assist whenever and wherever we can, says Garcia. We have increased our staffing substantially since the beginning of the year to help better serve our customers and expand our service area.

Aerial pest control and nest egg programme boost whio population

A study of whio/blue duck in eastern Kahurangi National Park has shown the benefits rearing ducklings in wildlife facilities and aerial 1080 pest control have in increasing their numbers in the wild.

The Department of Conservation study in the Wangapeka-Fyfe Whio Security Site found female whio hatched and reared at a wildlife centre contributed significantly to productivity in the site after being released there as juveniles.

The three-year study also found landscape-scale aerial 1080 pest control provided better protection for whio nests than the sites intensive trapping along 73km of waterway. Twenty five whio are believed to have fledged in the breeding season immediately after an aerial 1080 pest control operation compared to none and then three in the following two years with trapping alone.

The whio security site, centred on the Wangapeka and Fyfe river catchments, is one of eight nationally ensuring the survival of whio in the wild through DOCs partnership with Genesis Energy in the Whio Forever Project.

Kate Steffens, Senior Ranger Biodiversity, said the findings helped determine the best measures for increasing the whio population.

Through the WHIONE Whio Operation Nest Egg programme we have been taking eggs from wild pairs in the park to Christchurchs Peacock Springs Wildlife Centre. The ducklings are hatched and raised there until three to four months old when they are then released into the Wangapeka-Fyfe Whio Security Site.

Fifty percent of the 28 whio believed to have successfully fledged from nests over the 2011-2014 study period were produced by WHIONE females though they numbered just eight or 38 percent of the 21 females followed.

The study also showed that in the few months after an aerial 1080 pest control operation by the then Animal Health Board (now TBFree NZ), nine out of 10 nests, 90%, successfully produced ducklings. Flooding caused one nest to fail.

In the following years with just trapping alone, just three out of 6 nests, 50 percent, and then two out of six nests, 33 percent, successfully produced ducklings.

SAN ANTONIO Loire James of Somerset lives on a rural property with a carport and a horse stable. She buys 40 sacks of horse feed every two weeks and has had pest problems with the feed, especially with scorpions.

But a program in which Animal Care Services vaccinates and sterilizes feral cats, then places them in homes where their wild instincts can be of use, has eliminated James' pest problem.

It helps place the cats in a home they don't pass away, James said. Also, the cats take care of the rodents.

San Antonio farms, businesses and warehouses are similarly taking part in the adoption program that rids their properties of vermin. Initiated by ACS last year, the program gives jobs to cats that would otherwise be unmatchable with pet-seeking families.
