Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
Don comments the residential & vehicle crime incidents reported to police throughout May increased by 46 % compared to April.
Of note, some of our local residents have reported a suspicious male wearing a high vis vest, riding a lime scooter around our neighbourhoods scoping properties. If you see this activity occurring call police immediately on 111.

Don's community policing team have been extremely productive dealing with a spate of shoplifting from our local supermarket.
We are all pretty aware of the ongoing, constant problems there.
There's more positive info in the newletter in regard to this situation
There's an important community notice for a public meeting on 4th July focusing on safety where Don welcomes all to discuss what can be done to address these local concerns.
In attendance will be our MP, Police, Onehunga Community patrol, Neighbourhood support etc.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
