A message from Counties Manukau East

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police in Counties Manukau East are reminding residents to check the identification of official workers following reports of burglaries where suspects have impersonated officials.

What you need to know:
- Police have recently dealt with a number of burglaries in the Howick area, where a suspect has impersonated an official worker.
- There have been persons identifying themselves as official workers and visiting houses, advising residents they are there to check the water or power meters.
- Residents are being reminded that all official workers, regardless of which organisation they work for, will be clearly identifiable with photo ID, uniforms and fluro gear.
- Police encourage anyone who sees something that doesn’t appear right to contact Police.

Counties Manukau East Area Community Service Manager, Senior Sergeant Anson Lin, has shared:
"A high-vis jacket is no guarantee of authority - and sadly there are offenders out there who are trying to take advantage of people,”

“Don’t be afraid to challenge something or someone to ask for identification - official workers will be clearly identifiable. We need the public to report any suspicious activity so we can conduct enquiries and hold offenders to account."

“If you see suspicious behaviour and it is happening now please contact Police on 111 or if it is after the fact, contact Police on 105 or online at www.police.govt.nz...

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.

This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
