Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Adrenaline hit a 21-year-old man when four masked teens entered his family’s superette while he worked with his sister.

Manav Prasad and his younger sister were starting to close Kauri Park Superette in Beach Haven on Saturday night when four masked men entered.

“They were after smokes ... they jumped on the counter and I just started screaming at them,” Prasad said.

Prasad told Stuff he grabbed a hockey stick, that is kept behind the counter for security, and waved it at them to try scare them off – which he succeeded in.

Help Needed: Peat, Straw, and Moisture Control for Tiger Worms in Castor Bay

Diana from Castor Bay

Hello, neighbors! I’m in Castor Bay and currently caring for my tiger worms. I’ve encountered some moisture issues and am looking for materials like peat, straw, or anything that can help with moisture absorption. I’d also appreciate any advice on preventing clogging in the drainage pipe to ensure proper drainage. If anyone has extra peat, straw, or can share some helpful tips, I’d be really grateful! Thank you so much for your support, especially during the holiday season
Best wishes,
Diana
