Wanted: Information on stolen art piece

The Team from North Shore, Rodney & West Auckland Police

Police are asking the public to keep an eye out for a unique art piece stolen during a burglary in west Auckland.

The Waitematā West Tactical Crime Unit is investigating a burglary in the Piha area on 6 December 2025.

Detective Sergeant Anna Freestone says scrap metal and tools were amongst items stolen, but also an valuable artwork called ‘Infinite Sea’.

“The round artwork is made up of glass, a mirror, led lighting and PVC,” she says.

“It’s a distinctive piece of art and we’re asking anyone in the public who has information on its whereabouts to get in touch.

It may be that this artwork has been offered up or advertised for sale, and we need to hear from you.”

If you have information to assist Police, you can provide information online now or call 105 using the reference number 251208/4801.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
