Cricketers arrested after alleged celebration

Police have arrested and charged three Taranaki representative cricketers after an early morning vandalism spree in Napier.

Another two unidentified members of the team are also alleged to have been involved in the drunken rampage through Napier's city streets, the Taranaki Daily News reported today.

The three men who were arrested are Andrew Mason, 18, David Good, 23, and Keith Muller, 26.
The team was celebrating its win over Hawke's Bay, which allows Taranaki to challenge for the Hawke Cup.

Police alleged members of the team kicked rubbish bins over, damaged street signs, traffic lights and letterboxes, and ripped branches off trees, throwing one through a car's windscreen.

The Taranaki Cricket Association is investigating the incident.

The trio were arrested and charged with disorderly behaviour. They were bailed to appear in the Napier District Court on March 1.
