Correction

12/05/2015

IN LAST week’s Mail, it was reported that a Dixons Creek man had been remanded in custody for a series of burglaries, including one from the Dixons Creek CFA station on 24 December last year.
However, this is incorrect – the man is from the Chelsea Heights area and not a Dixons Creek local.
The Mail apologises for any inconvenience caused by this error.
