Business owner helps victims of tyre-slashing spree
Did you have your tyres slashed in the latest vandalism spree? An Auckland tyre shop owner is offering to fix for free, or replace at cost, tyres slashed in a vandalism spree on the North Shore.
More than 20 vehicles parked on Tiri Tiri Rd and Woodhams St in Birkdale had tyres destroyed late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. One resident said the cars with flat tyres spanned all the way from the top to bottom of Tiri Tiri Rd, which was about 300 metres long.
Dan Jordan, owner of VIP Wheel & Tyre in Hillcrest reached out to the community via social media on Thursday, offering to fix any repairable tyres for free or replace any tyres as cheaply as he could.
Police were actively conducting scene and forensic examinations and encouraged anyone with information to call Sergeant Andrew Hawkins on (09) 477 5261.
Alternatively, information could be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
