Meals on Wheels volunteer's car stolen while out delivering lunches

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

An 81-year-old volunteer has a message for the thief who snatched her car while she was out delivering hot lunches to the elderly and disabled – it could be your loved one left starving.

Widow Myra Brown, who donates to her time to the Meals of Wheels service, was dropping off food to a disabled woman in Woolston in Christchurch about 11am on Monday.

The service delivers meals to people who struggle to cook themselves, with volunteer drivers organised by the Red Cross.

When she returned minutes later, her white 2007 Suzuki Crossover was gone.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
