`Stolen' property found

Cromwell police have recovered allegedly stolen property from a address at which they were pelted with bottles and rocks on Saturday.

Sergeant Mike Williams, of Cromwell, said police officers searched the Cairnmuir Cres property yesterday afternoo, and found stolen items.

No-one was arrested in relation to the search.

On Saturday, police were called to reports of 15 people fighting and smashing bottles outside the address.

Five police officers responded, some of whom received minor cuts and scratches from glass bottles thrown at them.

One officer was hit in the head by broken glass after a window in his patrol car was smashed by a rock.

Six Cromwell men and one Wanaka man are due to appear in the Alexandra District Court today, charged with various offences relating to the disorder.

More arrests from the incident are likely.

Sgt Williams said police had met landlords of the property.
