Stolen Bike/Sons Birthday Present

Tracey from Sockburn

Do you recognise this bike? It was dumped outside my house in exchange for my sons brand new 24inch bike that he just received for his birthday. Has someone come home with a brand new black and green Milazo bike with some speckles of mud on tyres and frame that you didn't know they had. Or has anyone seen a bike of this description dumped anywhere? The seat is up on this red adventurer bike so I presume it is an adult or tall person. My son is devasted at this lost. It has happened somewhere between 12.00 pm last night and this morning. I live on Racecourse road between Bucannans and Waterloo road. Could it have been someone you know that works at the many factories close by that have turned up with a new bike at work today? I am on my own and it took a great deal of savings to purchase this for my son I am very distraught at the thought that somebody could just help themselves. If you know anything please call Tracey 0273802571

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
