A Palmerston North student has been fined after stealing a garden gnome from a woman’s property on
his way home from a night out drinking.
Police found Christopher William Field, 18, in possession of the gnome, which he said he’d taken for his
mother.
“You keep to the footpath on the way home,” Judge Gregory Ross told him in the Palmerston North
District Court yesterday.
On a charge of theft, Field was fined $250.
