    A cellphone sucked out of a portaloo in Whangamata ... has been claimed

    A cellphone sucked out of a portaloo in Whangamata ... has been claimed


    The device went down the loo at a New Year's Eve concert at Joe's Farm, just outside the town.

    A contractor retrieved the phone and handed it to Whangamata Police in a biohazard bag.

    Sergeant Will Hamilton says to their surprise, the owner contacted them to say GPS was telling him the cellphone was at the station.
