Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
I've attached Don's latest newsletter, good news - Hillsborough, Onehunga, Epsom & Penrose had a 17% decrease in crime last month , but wait there's more - Police recovered 26 stolen motor vehicles in our community - wahoo.
The Police recently, as a "safer roads 3 road policing operation" conducted several Police check points throughout Auckland where over 5000 drivers were stopped for passive breath tests . ( see page 2 of the newsletter for the results) "Drivers stopped by Police are required to state their name & address so the breath testing device may determine if alcohol is present on the breath of the driver." There are consequences if one refuses to comply with the info. ( see page 3 & 4 for consequences and the current breath alcohol limits & penalties)
The streets with multiple reported incidents were:
Onehunga Mall (11 incidents) 5 x burg, 3 x stolen motor, vehicle 3 x theft x-car
Moana Ave (5 incidents) 4x burgs 1 x stolen vehicle
Arthur St ( 5 incidents) 1 Theft from a car, 4 x stolen vehicles Heretaunga Ave ( 4 incidents) 4 x stolen vehicles
