Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter
Hey Neighbours,
Here's Don's March newsletter... There's a lot of valuable information for you and he comments on the crime stats for February along with the steps to put in place to reduce being burgled again after a burglary as the burglars are now familiar with your layout of what security you have in place. They also know you are likely to replace the previously stolen items !! See page 17 of this newsletter to assist you.
Don gives us this information to inform & help us with our community safety. The local crime prevention Policing team place "prevention" at the forefront of what they do.. Eastern area Road Policing & Community officers have conducted a number of operation in our suburb.... focusing on distracted drivers and seat belt restraints. A person on their phone recently crashed into the rear of Don's personal motor vehicle causing extensive damage !!
SAFER PLATES securing tamperproof screws - Their next event is scheduled at Countdown Onehunga on the 20 th of April from 10am -2pm. 103 plates were stolen in March and 9 of them in Onehunga.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
