Chain reaction

Ōtorohanga police are hoping the flush out the culprit or culprits who stole a cistern from a public toilet block last week.

Sergeant Jimmie Walker said the door leading to a toilet near netball courts on Alex Telfer Drive in Ōtorohanga was forced open to get access to the cistern, which is valued at about $500.

Walker described the incident on Thursday night or Friday morning as “very odd”.

The damage to a cubicle most people use to spend a penny was estimated $100.
