    Police are considering charges for a man who forced entry into Murupara's unmanned police station this morning

    Police are considering charges for a man who forced entry into Murupara's unmanned police station this morning


    Officers spent hours behind cars outside the Whakatane District building - talking to him inside, through a loud speaker.

    Police allege he smashed the glass entrance door.

    An axe and machete were found inside the man's vehicle - and a chainsaw found thrown over a fence.
