Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter

Colleen from Onehunga

Hi Neighbours,
Don has lots of excellent information to promote your wellbeing and safety.
I'm going to email Don about the rather disturbing & very dangerous posts on Neighbourly of people chasing "strangers off their property " I feel that sooner or later there's going to be an ambulance required by a resident , I've had prowlers on my property many years ago, I know how the adrenalin kicks in to chase them ! I personally would recommend, lock your doors & windows , try to get a description of the person, what they're wearing, height, gender etc and call 111. I believe from past information from Police that if you call 111 and the dog squad is available they have a good chance of tracking the person, whereas not so much if you have been chasing the person up/down the road.
Regards
Colleen

Here's Don's latest update for us and the full newsletter is attached below : On 6 October police dealt with another dirt bike rider tearing up our residential streets. He was arrested on other matters in addition to his motor cycle being pink stickered. This person has been issued with a number of traffic offence notices and has a cancelled drivers licence.

Please notify police immediately on 111 if you observe activity of this nature.
