Be vigilant with mail
Police are aware of a recent overseas rise in scams which involve an unexpected package being sent to addresses with a gift and a QR code inside. Police believe this scamming method could find its way to New Zealand and we are urging people to be vigilant.
The gift will have the recipients address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.
The QR code allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you used to scan the code, including financial information such as your bank account login details, and personal data.
Police are urging anyone who receives one of these gifts not to scan the QR code, the gift can either be kept or discarded, but do not scan the QR code.
Please report information to Police online at www.police.govt.nz... or call Police on 105.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Dogs on Meadowlands Park Somerville
Dog owners need to be aware that no dogs are allowed off leash on Meadowlands Park Reserve. No dogs are allowed on marked sports field areas, including in the softball diamonds, at ANY time. Talked with Animal Management who were at the park Saturday afternoon.
Appearently they are doing regular patrols to enforce this bye law. Notice on pole at every entrance to the park.
Don’t want any neighbours to be caught and possibly fined.
