Police are reviewing CCTV footage after $100,000 worth of cowhides were stolen from the Matakana Hall during the night on January 23.
They are asking anyone who may have seen anything suspicious, or similar items subsequently being sold, to call 105 and quote 200124/7234.
Hall committee member Jenni Francis said it was the first time in eight years of running the Coastal Cowhides fundraisers in the hall that anything had been stolen.
She said a display hide was taken from outside the hall during the day on Thursday and police were contacted, but overnight thieves pried open the door and “cleaned the place out.”
The sale was raising money for international alpine ski racer Piera Hudson.
