Colleen from Onehunga

Don's October issue is attached with good news that Onehunga, during September, had a further 12% decrease in reported crime with one of the lowest months of vehicle crime so far this year. Wahoo - those steering locks, immobilisers and removing valuables from your vehicles must be helping.

Onehunga Mall (4 incidents) 3 x burgs,1 x theft ex-car Arthur St (4 incidents) 3 x burg, 1 x theft ex-car,
Church St (4 incidents) 3 x burg, 1 x theft ex-car,
Mt Smart Road (4 incidents) 3 x burgs, 1 x stolen vehicle. Waitangi Road (3 incidents) 3 x burgs
Jordan Ave (3 incidents) 1 x theft ex-car, 2 x stolen vehicles. Campbell Road (2 incidents) 1 x burg, 1 theft ex-car. Cardwell St (2 incidents) 1 x burg, 1 stolen vehicle.

Hill St (2 incidents) 1 x burg, 1 stolen vehicl

Don comments .....
A few months ago my team led by Sergeant Gwilliam initiated a quick response approach focusing on local retail crime in Onehunga.
We have seen an amazing result considering all the other demands that community policing require of our team.

Check points will increase in Auckland over the next few months for drivers to take a roadside evidential breath test.

Don has put information on "Trees and boundaries in relation to trimming" & "Can I cut back branches or roots encroaching from my neighbours property" "What can I do if a neighbour’s tree is dangerous or blocking the view or light?" "Who pays for the work if the court makes an order to remove or trim a tree? " " What if the neighbour doesn’t carry out the court order? "

Onehunga Community Patrol - what they do and how to join.
This is a very worthwhile & helpful community activity.... check it out if you feel you'd like to help.

Stay safe and Spring is here with lambs and blossoms

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
