Four teens scared off by 21-year-old man working at his family dairy in Auckland
Hi neighbours,
Adrenaline hit a 21-year-old man when four masked teens entered his family’s superette while he worked with his sister.
Manav Prasad and his younger sister were starting to close Kauri Park Superette in Beach Haven on Saturday night when four masked men entered.
“They were after smokes ... they jumped on the counter and I just started screaming at them,” Prasad said.
Prasad told Stuff he grabbed a hockey stick, that is kept behind the counter for security, and waved it at them to try scare them off – which he succeeded in.
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)
.
