A Christchurch foodbank is “absolutely heartbroken”, “mad” and “gutted to the core” after two thieves stole frozen and chilled food meant for hundreds of families in need.
On Sunday night, at 10.20pm, two individuals dressed in balaclavas and gloves broke the locks of Hoon Hay Foodbank’s walk-in freezer and chiller.
“You have completely depleted [sic] all supplies of any meat and frozen and chilled items that were going out to hundreds of whānau [sic] who genuinely need the help to put Kai on the table… all you had to do was send a text and book in for a food parcel to access food if you were in need.”
What a despicable crime.
Side note, what’s with the eccentric use of “[sic]” in that article? All bar one are misuses of it. I wonder what the person who put it there thinks it means.
You’re right, that’s bizarre.
Looks like the sub-editing software queries were left in the published story.
Could be… seems to hate macrons. Out of curiousity I don’t suppose you know what software they use? The only editing software I’m familiar with is nondestructive.
Drugs is a helluva drug
Thats such a dog move. You could have gone there and asked for food.
