A vandal wielding a sledgehammer has smashed an iconic and sacred site in the small South Waikato village of Atiamuri. The desecration of Te Kōwhatu o Hatupatu (Hatu Patu’s Rock) a wāhi tapu site that sits near State Highway 1 in Atiamuri, 20 minutes south of Tokoroa, was discovered during the Christmas period. Fragments of the rock were smashed off during the attack and divots can be seen on the face of the rock. No one has taken responsibility for the attack.
