Car broken into on symonds street Royal Oak
Hi Neighbours,
About 4.45am on Sunday morning, my car was broken into parked at the church on symonds street, Royal oak by the big Royal oak round about.
The priest of thee church woke to their house being burgled around the same time.
My handbag and laptop hidden under the shopping bags - which I normally would leave in of course - were stolen.
The laptop bag is very distinctive with a black back and strap and a NZ art design. The laptop is a silver HP.
Inside my handbag which is grey, was a few things including a sentimental ring from Tahiti with two pearls coming together. This would not. Normally be seen in NZ.
There was also a card holder wallet with credit cards, license etc.
They walked down symonds street towards Royal oak intermediate as many items from my bag were scattered along the footpath.
Any help would be amazing even security footage along this road.
A police report has been done.
Thank you all.
Mary
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
