Fake police officers steal $25k worth of belongings from Auckland University students after conducting 'search warrant'

Mildred Armah Reporter from North Shore Times

Two university students say they were robbed by an armed trio wearing high-visibility police vests.

The offenders produced a fake search warrant before stealing between $25,000 and $30,000 worth of belongings from their home in Auckland’s Birkenhead, they say.

Auckland University student Jackson, who requested only his first name be used due to safety concerns, said the robbery happened after midnight on April 13.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Two dogs - one dead pet hen, one dead duck

John from Hauraki

There have been two dogs roaming around the waterfront properties on Pine Ridge Tce in the morning, afternoon, and late at night. They have killed two birds that I know of. One dead pet hen, one dead duck. One dog is tall, whitish, and the other is possibly black, smallish, with white blotches (sorry, the description is vague). Can the owners please control their dogs? Apart from pets on properties, the area is of ecological significance and home to endangered shorebirds. I like dogs and have had two of my own. I understand the responsibilities involved. Could the owners of the roaming dogs in the area please take measures to control them and ensure no further harm to pets and wildlife?
