Motorcyclist shot in New Lynn? (30 January)

**EnzoYug** · 30th January 2008, 14:36

firstly: this is all rumour at this point! the title is dramatic but I've no idea if it's accurate.

I've just received a third hand report about a power outage this afternoon in New Lynn that was caused when a motorcyclist was shot and his bike crashed into a power pole or roadside transformer - taking out the localised lines.

Anyone got any details? It sounds pretty far out but with the violence we've seen this summer I'm open to anything right now. Guess we'll find out tonight at 6....

I doubt a motorcycle could take out a power pole, let alone a transformer.

I'm thinking it's a bad case of Chinese whispers....

Alright, just got word from my girlie who works in New Lynn, now she's lovely but she isn't particularly descriptive..

All I got was that the bank was being robbed and a motorcycling got in their way. That's all folks.. find out more tonight.
