Northern Advocate
What has been deemed an 'honest mistake' has led to a Northland man receiving a $1600 fine for the removal of historic war artefacts from Ruapekapeka Pa.
Sadly, these offences are happening at important cultural heritage sites across New Zealand and are not always so innocent, the Department of Conservation (DoC) said.
Te Ruapekapeka Trust and DoC were alerted through comments on Facebook that the man was seen using a metal detector and removing artefacts at Ruapekapeka pa in late January.
