Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
Here's Don's June report for us with a positive intro, that property crime was down in June compared to May. Then into the rest of the newsletter..... stolen number plates( 86 in Auckland - 9 of which were taken in Onehunga) with a free Onehunga Community Patrol day on the 28th of July from 10 - 2 pm at Countdown Greenlane where, the Volunteers will secure your plates for you with anti-tamperproof screws which slow the criminals down.
If anyone has a few hours free, the Onehunga Community Patrol always needs Volunteers. I did this for a few years at Mangere Bridge, it's simple and helpful to the community.
There's lots of other helpful information on how to keep your home and possessions safer.
Regards
Colleen
