Suitcase sparks alarm
PA Auckland Judge Blackwood called the police after he found a suitcase in his drive. The District Court judge discovered the case as he was about to leave his Orakei house at 6.30 a.m. for a gymnasium. He telephoned the police, who
cordoned off the area and called an explosives expert. But it was found that the case contained a neighbour’s clothing. Judge Blackwood said, “I phoned them and said ‘I do not know if it is stolen property or a
bomb.’ I was not going to open it up, but I did not think it was anything particularly sinister. “We have always been told that if something strange arrives at the office or at home: ‘Do not touch it’ — which is a very wise precaution.”
