1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Now we know that investigations are underway after a break

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: in at Jape Homemaker village. So two young girls allegedly

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: broke into Anaconda and stole a large number of hunting items,

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: including machetes, knives, arrows, and compound bows early on Saturday morning. Now,

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: joining me on the line to tell us a little

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: bit more is the Anaconda store manager Corey Reichstein. Good

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: morning to you, Cory.

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, going not too bad mate?

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: What happened on the weekend?

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: So about two point thirty on Saturday morning, we received

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: a call out to a bloke in at Anaconda. Upon

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: getting to the location, we found that the fires that

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: had been forced open and we were missing a fair

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: bit of weapons, bows, machetes, knives, and to read electric

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: scooters as well.

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh no goodness me, that sounds like a pretty significant

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: haul of what have been able to steal.

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does hurt a little.

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Bit, mate. It must be a concern as well. I mean,

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: when they're getting away with things like scooters and also

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: though things like knives, those machetes and compound bows, it

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: must be a concern for you guys.

23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: Look, I think it's just a general community concern at

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: the moment about the kind of stuff that is out

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: in the community and stuff that we've got to look

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: out for.

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: Mate, How did they get in? What did they do?

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: Was there much damage?

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: So they entered through one of our fire extinguishers that

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: they had forced open with the head of a axe. Basically,

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, as far as damage is were concerned, it

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: is only the door. We were quite lucky. We haven't.

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: We didn't have anything broken or smashed. Yep. So that's

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: a good thing.

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: So then talk us through I know you've touched on it,

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: but talk us through what they stole.

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So we've had missing to read electric scooters, a

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: few machetes and knives, a couple of backpacks, a few

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: head torches, five bows, and a few cases of arrows

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: as well.

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Wow, uhuh, you obviously contacted the police. Where are things

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: at from your understanding with the investigations.

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the police are doing doing their their job

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: and what they can do, and they are keeping us

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: informed of as much as possible. I yeah, that's about

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: all I can really say about that at the moment.

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: I know that they are they are out there looking

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: for their stuff, and some of it has been recovered,

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: but there is some set outstanding.

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, so some of it has been has been

51
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: recovered already, has it?

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there has been some items recovered.

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: Now, can you talk us through in terms of was

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: it captured on CCTV.

55
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got multiple angles of what happened on CCTV,

56
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: but being nighttime and being quite dark, we're still making

57
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: out the details now.

58
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like, are you concerned about the fact that

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: you know that some of these items that obviously people

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: use for hunting in a very legal way, that they

61
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: could be used for something untoward.

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: Oh, look, one hundred percent with that sort of stuff

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: being out in the community. It's not ideal.

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's not ideal. I mean, it's just a

65
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: really ordinary situation that you guys were broken into, especially

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: so Saturday morning. Did it make trading on Saturday quite difficult?

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: We could open a store until eleven thirty on Saturday morning,

68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: which we had our team out in the front explaining

69
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: that to the customers and who were sure were all

70
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: like they were so lovely about it. Yeah, And I

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: think that's the thing the support of the community has

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: given us already, the amount of people that have said,

73
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: oh you know, we'll definitely come back to that later

74
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: on today when you're the shining light out of all this.

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, it always is. Hey, That's the thing that

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: I love about the Northern Territory community, is it when

77
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: things are, you know, very ordinary situations like the one

78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: that you've been in, but the community does rally and

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: everybody does try to look after each other.

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: That's right. And the customers have just seen so great

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: about it and understanding about the wake time, and a

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: lot of people did come back on Saturday, even knowing

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: that we were going to be a little bit disjointed

84
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: and maybe a little frustrated, but no, it's fantastic.

85
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that is good to hear. And I really

86
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: hope that you know that the police are able to

87
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: catch whoever's done this and that you're able to sort

88
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: of get everything bag. Although I guess once even if

89
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: you do get it back, you can't really sell it then,

90
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: can you.

91
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: No, A lot of stuff will be unsellable, So that's

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: just something that we've got to make up in sales

93
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: moving forward.

94
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah. Oh well, Corey, I really appreciate you

95
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: having a chat to us this morning. I know it's

96
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: a bloody ordinary situation for you guys to be in,

97
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: but I really appreciate you having your chat to us

98
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,720
