Kia ora neighbours, Thomas Coombes, who was fatally stabbed on a walkway in Auckland’s Mt Albert, has been remembered by loved ones as being able to “cheer up a brick wall”.

About 700 people gathered at Wainamu, Te Henga/Bethells Beach for a memorial service on Tuesday May 31 to mourn the loss of Coombes after he was attacked and killed on Tuesday May 24.

Coombes, 25, had been heading home when he was attacked and his body was found by members of the public.

“Tom was a young man who followed his dreams, and we want his life to inspire other young people to do the same,” said his mother, Rowena Coombes.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
