The police are considering whether to keep two abandoned properties in a small Horowhenua town. A police media spokeswoman said the two houses in Shannon had been vacant for around five years, and were not currently suitable to live in. The small houses on Julyan St were run-down, dirty and in need of repairs. “If police confirm that the properties are no longer required for police purposes, the land will be sold,” the spokeswoman said. Former Shannon community constable Charlie Rudd said he was one of the last people to live one of the houses.
