Hawkes Bay Today, 25th October 2008
Man took car off two young women after he crashed his own vehicle. A man who stole a car from two Hawke's Bay women after his vehicle was involved in an accident near Dannevirke last year has been sent to jail for 20 months. Kelly Lee Kamura, 31, pleaded guilty in Hawera District Court to two car conversion charges and one charge each of robbery, wilful damage and driving while disqualified.

The charges related to an incident on November 25 last year. Kamura, who had been out of prison for two months, was driving a Nissan Maxima along State Highway Two. He struck the side of a Fonterra tanker just after midnight. The accident forced the car off the road into a stand of trees. Kamura scrambled clear before the vehicle caught fire. He then approached two women in their 20s, who had stopped after their own car had received a puncture, and demanded they drive him to hospital.

When they refused he took their keys and drove off with their Mazda Familia car. Kamura then walked to a relative's place, where he asked if he could borrow a car for l5 minutes. The car, which was not returned within the agreed time, was being driven by Kamura's partner when police recovered it the following day. He was arrested when he failed to stop at a police checkpoint in New Plymouth on May 31. Kamura was also convicted and discharged on two charges of car conversion as well as one charge of wilful damage. He was disqualified from driving for 15 months and ordered to pay reparations of $598.61.
