A driver who ripped up grass on verges in Ashburton had his car impounded by police. Wheel marks are still evident along Morris Rd, Murdochs Rd and Grayburn Rd, near Ashburton Airport, after the damage occurred in the early hours of August 10.
‘‘It’s just stupidity,’’ said a resident of the area who did not want to be named.
He suspected youths partying at a nearby house were responsible.
‘‘I heard the brooom, brooom, and I thought ‘Here we go’,’’ the man said.
Police said officers received a report of traffic offending on Grayburn Rd about 2am.
‘‘It appears a vehicle was doing burn-outs on the grass verge and streets in the area,’’ a police spokesperson said.
‘‘The driver was located by police a short time later and his vehicle was impounded.’’
