By Victoria White - Hawkes Bay TodaySmashed windows, vandalised property, and stolen goods marred a normally quiet weekend in a Hawke's Bay coastal suburb. In the early hours of Saturday morning a group of people are reported to have thrown rocks at houses in Waimarama, before stealing a wheelie bin and setting it on fire with a public barbecue. The activity appears to have been centred at the Waimarama Domain and nearby streets. One resident - who did not wish to be named - said his family were now on edge, having been woken by rocks thrown at their house early on Saturday morning. A Hastings District Council spokeswoman said their staff were now investigating the incident - as the domain and barbecue were council owned.
