NZ Police Weekly Crime Alert Pictures
Hi Neighbours,
Attached is the weekly crime alert and below is another plea from our Onehunga Community Constable Don Allan suggesting how to reduce car break ins and being vigilant about mail boxes being cleared regularly and locked. Once they get your credit or store cards or banking info they're off spending your money !!!
Regards
Colleen
Update:
We are still seeing a bit of vehicle crime occurring in the area so please keep vigilant and remove all contents from your vehicle when parked up.
Mail theft is also occurring through our community so please be vigilant and clear letterboxes regularly and do not let mail and flyers accumulate in your letter boxes. Good quality latches and locks may be useful, however criminals are still jimmying locked letterboxes in order to get at your mail. If you see something, say something.
All suspicious activity should be reported immediately to Police on 111 and if a photo can be obtained of individuals engaging in the activity, please forward to police as soon as possible, this will be most useful in helping to identify those responsible. Nonetheless, do not put yourself in harm’s way trying to photograph criminals.
Have a safe weekend.
Kind regards
Don
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
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.
