Crown sues for damages over damage to Waihopai spy base
The Government is suing the three men who attacked the Waihopai spybase near Blenheim for one million dollars. Dominican friar Peter Murnane, Adrian Leason, and Sam Land admitted breaking into the base in 2008, and destroying a 30-metre high protective dome using two sickles. A jury found them not guilty.
