Stolen Ducati (Christchurch, 6 March)

[DesmoDAZ]

Howdy all,
Just putting a note out to all about the bad misfortune my mate had between 5.30 and 7.30pm friday the 6th March.
He had his Ducati 749s stollen from his house somewhere between these times.
The Skum pulled the front off his conservertry went through his house and found the red key and spare along with his code card and they were off, bike jacket and helmet.
Stollen from the New Brighton area in Christchurch.
Stunning example of the model with several notable mods that make it stick out, red suede single seat, chrome, yes chrome exhaust cover, carbon rear hugger, chrome heel plates.
Rego Number 80ZCL.
I know this is a long shot but while out and about keep your eyes out.
Cheers

Apologies for the long quotes but it's all just been broadcast by New Brighton plod:

New Zealand Police Alert 1:00pm 7 Mar 2009 Canterbury
Location of incident: Christchurch
Incident type: Robbery at Pharmacy

At about 12.55 pm on Saturday the 7th of March 2009 a male entered the premises of Alabasters Pharmacy 200A Papanui Road, opposite Merivale Mall, and robbed the owner of an amount of cash. The offending male was wearing a red full face crash helmet at the time of the incident.

During the robbery the offender threw petrol over the pharmacist and threatened to set him on fire. The pharmacist was able to run out of the shop and raise the alarm with a nearby shop owner.
The offender left the pharmacy and got on to a red Ducati 749 motorcycle which was parked in a loading zone near the pharmacy.

He left on the motorcycle and was last seen travelling east on St Albans Street at speed.

The Ducati motorcycle was located a short time later by Police leaning up against a fence outside Abberley Park in Abberley Crescent. The motorcycle had earlier been reported stolen in a burglary on Friday 6 March from a New Brighton address.

The pharmacist is recovering well at home after his ordeal but is understandably shocked by this incident.

'The potential for serious injury to the pharmacist during this incident cannot be overstated'.

Police are following a number of positive lines of enquiry and seek the assistance of the public in this matter.

Police are interested in hearing from any member of the public who may have seen a red Ducati motorcycle and its rider at about 12.50 pm in the vicinity of Alabasters Pharmacy on Papanui Road opposite Merivale Mall.

In addition Police are also interested in any sightings of the Ducati motorcycle and its rider on St Albans Road or Abberley Crescent near Abberley Park shortly after 12.55 pm.

Any member of the public who has any information to offer can contact Detective Sergeant Paul Merrett from the New Brighton Police on 3739102.

Just spotted the alert about this one. Hope the scumbag gets locked up for a bloody long time. Bike theft and throwing petrol over pharmicists is not on.

That bike better not have been damaged.


edit: obviously I should refresh before replying.

I sincerely hope the guy gets caught! Unlikely considering he was wearing the helmet and would not have been able to get a good ID on him.

Fortunately the bike was found and i hope it is ok.

If the scum is caught i reckon they should set him on fire! Come on Darwin, help us out here.

I don't understand why someone would go to so much trouble to steal a bike only to use it in a robbery. Surely the bike was worth more than the offender got from the pharmacist?

Makes you think about your own security measures and about who knows what bikes I've got etc.
