Hey Neighbours,
Team Blue have been very busy as usual along with a minor flood in the Onehunga Station public counter area resulting in it's temporary closure. If you need to visit the station it may be best to call them first to see where the repairs are up to.
When you read the newsletter you'll see reported crime in January was higher than average for this time of year
Also ... in 7 days across Auckland District stolen number plates rose by 400% !!!!!
The community policing team have 2 new members from Police college joining the ranks. You'll read some of the tasks the community policing team do along with assisting with other Police work.
Crimestoppers number is 0800 555 111 for reporting crime anonymously.
*555 for bad driving or boy racer activity
105 is the Police Crime reporting line - for non urgent reporting of an offence/suspicious behaviour.
There's plenty of information in the newsletter from Don in ways to keep yourself and your property safe.
It would be great if you could pop Don an email and thank him for his efforts with the newsletter in keeping us informed about our community.
Stay safe Neighbours
Regards
Colleen

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
