Police called to noisy stereo
PA Auckland The armed offenders squad settled a dispute between neighbours in Te Atatu North, Auckland, after the owner of a noisy stereo threatened to shoot anyone who turned it down. The police broke in about 8.30 p.m. on Saturday but no firearms were found in the Enderby Drive house of the man, aged 55. Sergeant Jim Boyd said the man told the police that his complaints about neighbours’ noisy stereos were ignored because of a relationship between the neighbours and noise control officers. On Saturday he turned
a radio broadcast on to full volume, and when the neighbours complained and a noise control officer arrived with an abatement notice, the man telephoned the Henderson Police Station and threatened to shoot anyone who tried to turn his stereo down. Sergeant Boyd said that when armed offenders squad officers got inside the house they found the man, who lives alone, sitting quietly with the stereo blaring. A man will appear in the District Court at Henderson . today charged with threatening to kill or do grievous bodily harm.
