Message from Constable Don Allan & NZ PoliceCrime Alert
Hi All,
Over the last week Police have seen a huge increase in reported burglaries in Onehunga. It is important that local residents are made aware in order that an increase in vigilance be taken.
These offences have occurred near Trafalgar St, Inkerman St and Mt Smart Rd areas. Police believe that many of these burglaries are linked to the same offender due to close proximity and timings of incidents.
As a result of this crime spree we are increasing bail checks on local known offenders to ensure compliance with court and police bail restrictions. Police have also been tasked with increasing patrols in the hot spot areas.
At this stage we do not have any nominated suspects.
Earlier this week a burglary occurred on Symonds Street Onehunga. The suspect approached a residents address where they rang the doorbell to check if anyone was home. This particular address had a doorbell camera which obtained an image of a suspect believe to have committed a burglary on Symonds St, Onehunga. Refer to pic #1 on the attached crime alert.
If you have any information in relation to a crime and wish to remain anonymous, you can report information confidentially on 0800 555111 (crime stoppers)
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
