Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter
Happy New Year Neighbours ..... A big welcome back to our Community Constable Don Allan & Piper no doubt ! In January, retail crime thefts spiked throughout Auckland & Onehunga resulting in criminals arrested and 151 individual charges laid with a number of individuals sentenced for their criminal offending. The Police are focusing a portion of policing time specifically to retail theft for 2025 !
Don comments on the alcohol ban in Onehunga town centre - this means no alcohol is to be consumed within this area. Any breach should be reported to 111 so Police have an opportunity to attend and identify those responsible and deal with them accordingly.
The detailed January crime stats for Onehunga are on page 3. There were 11reported thefts ex car - Please take your items out of the car, so many times people leave their valuable items in the car - golf clubs, handbags, phones, laptops etc. Our other associated areas show the crime maps for those areas
Last but by no means least ..... Coffee with a cop returns
Venue to be confirmed ---
Thursday 20th March at 10 - 11am
Stay Safe Neighbours

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.8% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.4% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
