Labour activists caught vandalising signs

The Herald reports:

A complaint has been laid with police after Labour volunteers were spotted taking down New Conservative election hoardings in Auckland.

But Labour says it was a misunderstanding and a signs coordinator has apologised.

A New Conservative supporter posted on Facebook saying they’d seen two ripped signs on a fence while passing Great North Rd.

“I pulled over thought to take a photo but shockingly it was gone and on the ground into pieces already. A couple was replacing them with their Labour Party signs”, Frans Van Schie posted.

Of course it was a misunderstanding. I mean, they just tripped up and accidentally tore the signs down.
