Fake police officers steal $25k worth of belongings from Auckland University students after conducting 'search warrant'
Two university students say they were robbed by an armed trio wearing high-visibility police vests.
The offenders produced a fake search warrant before stealing between $25,000 and $30,000 worth of belongings from their home in Auckland’s Birkenhead, they say.
Auckland University student Jackson, who requested only his first name be used due to safety concerns, said the robbery happened after midnight on April 13.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT HELP NEEDED😄
For my lovely 🍓 89yo mum. Ideally 1 - 2 days pw. I'm looking at 8am - 2pm. Making her breakfast (weetbix, eggs, toast), mid morning porridge & lunch. Basic cooking skills & light cleaning duties (cleaning bathroom, keeping lounge tidy)😄 & keeping her company when im out food shopping/attending appointments. No showering as we have a carer doing that. She loves company & her Chinese TV. Mum is a softly spoken person with good SOH. Suited to someone similar like her & reliable. I'm there in the mornings & can give you guidance & support. An awesome opportunity for someone who loves working with the elderly. If you know of anyone or perhaps yourself you'd love to help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers Helen😄
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
