Photo: Daniel BirchfieldThe Waitaki Woodturners' Guild building at Oamaru Racecourse has been burgled for a second time in six years. This time, tools and accessories potentially worth near $1200 were taken from the guild's workshop, some time over the weekend. The thief or thieves may have then entered the workshop, which was secured by a padlock, after its key was taken from a cupboard. Mr Jamison said the break-in was a ''pain in the bum'' and was concerned other items might have been taken.
