Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
Dons newsletter is attached with a comment about a 6% increase in reported vehicle crime offences and the same % of burglaries as March. Police recovered 9 stolen vehicles that were abandoned in our community.
Sadly also, several complaints from local businesses regarding persons urinating in the main street. A graph showing a snap shot of reported incidents from Jan 24 - April 25 for Onehunga area. There's a note below the graph with the figures showing "not offical" . Burglaries certainly lead the graph in most cases.
The Onehunga Community Patrol is aways looking for volunteers over 18 for a 3 hour patrol once a month either day or evening. I have done it in the past and it's a very rewarding community
last but not least ......Don't forget Coffee with a Cop & Piper plus our local MP Greg Flemming- everyone is welcome on Thursday 29 May , 10.30 am at Cosy Cafe on Onehunga Mall. You can ask questions and discuss issues about our community. Everyone is very friendly.
All the phone numbers for Police 111 & 105 & *555
