Looking for a kind home for a sick cat

Tatiana from Birkdale

Dear neighbours,
we are looking for a kind person who is willing to take our cat and look after him. His name is Dipley, 4 years old, desexed, recently had a flea treatment and de-wormed.
We've been looking after Dipley for the last 2 years but a month ago he became very sick and lost a lot of weight. He needs to follow a prescription diet as he is diagnosed with Crohn's disease and cannot digest common food. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide poor Dipley with a necessary environment for recovery as he is very shy of our other 3 animals (dogs and a cat) and as a result does not eat as much as he needs. We are worried that his condition is worsening. If you have time, patience and love for animals and can take Dipley to your home and look after him, we will be very grateful. Dipley is a very gentle big black cat, however not a lap cat and very shy. He will let people he trusts to pat him. His follow up vet's appointment is due in a week time that we are willing to pay.
My phone number is 0211785166.

Impersonating tow truck drivers

The Team from Counties Manukau Police

Police are warning drivers across Tāmaki Makarau to be on the lookout for dodgy tow truck drivers following several incidents in the past few months.

Motorists are being warned of a small group of people pretending to be tow truck drivers, committing crimes by using unregistered tow trucks to pick up vehicles.

Sergeant Suzannah Kimber, Counties Manukau Police, says the group steals vehicles by pretending to legitimately tow them before disposing of the vehicles.
“Recently these offenders towed a member of the public’s vehicle in plain sight.
“Members of the public drove past this tow truck while they were loading it up as it just looked normal.
“They even go as far as wearing high-visibility clothing.”

Sergeant Kimber says Police are taking the opportunity to remind the community that all tow trucks will have external sign writing with the company name and be able to produce their logbook if asked.
“They also must be registered as a transport operator.
“If you see a tow truck without any distinguishing features towing cars, please call Police immediately.”
