Christchurch Police appealing for information after robbery
Police are appealing for help to find two balaclava-clad robbers who threatened a liquor store manager with a metal baseball bat before stealing thousands of dollars of goods.
The pair, believed to be in their 20s, attacked the man as they raided Thirsty Liquor on Parnwell St, Burwood at 8.35pm on Tuesday.
CCTV footage from the shop released by police shows the men – wearing baseball caps, dark hoodies and gloves – bursting into the shop and running to the till to steal cigarettes and cash. Read more here.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
