Australia and New Zealand have been hit by a wave of strange crimes, each of which has featured a protagonist with a bizarrely appropriate name.
The first in this string of unusual crimes was a catering racket operating from the taxpayer-funded Melbourne Convention Centre. It came to light that certain staff members were using a "substantial" amount of the Centre's stock to run their own, under the table catering business, according to a report in The Age. The name of the Centre's director of food and beverage? Frank Burger. Burger, who had achieved what many will never be able to (namely match his career to his name), must now find another job after he was escorted from the building by security after the racket was rumbled.
To New Zealand and the naturist group Free Beaches is scandalising the Peka Peka Beach community by encouraging people to cast off their inhibitions, along with their underwear, and get involved in a bit of skinny dipping. Whilst nudity is allowed on the NZ beaches, only with the caveat that it must not offend other bathers. A rule flouted by a 45-year old man who was spotted in his birthday suit by two 20 year old girls, offended because, in their words, he was "old and ugly". Luckily Sergeant Noel Bigwood was on hand to persuade the middle aged men of Peka Peka to keep on their swimmers.
And finally, an Auckland bowling club has found itself in the police spotlight after reports of "undesirable social behaviour" in its car park, according to a stuff.co.nz report. It seems that certain chaps were less interested in hanging out in the bowling alleys and rather more interested in hanging out in the bushes of the club's car park. But for any worried Aucklanders, don't fear. Inspector Gary Allcock is on the case ensuring bushes are thinned and hidden nooks and crannies removed.
