War medal thief admits trail of bungled offendingSUPPLIED Ian Jones' uncle's New Zealand Memorial Cross, along with his father's war medals, were among the items stolen in a recent burglary. Joshua Lukic is keen to meet the victims from his trail of bungled offending, but at least one will not accept the invitation ahead of the 30-year-old's sentencing. Five-year Fire Service medals for Jones and his father were found and returned, but his uncle's New Zealand Memorial Cross has not been found. Lukic has a history of offending including burglary, receiving stolen property, and robbery. Lukic used a credit card stolen in a burglary to make purchases totalling $331 at five stores.
