ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Police in Dunedin are continuing to investigate a theft at the Stadium Dairy on Sunday 15 July and the robbery of the Elgin Food Mart last night (Monday 16 July 2018).

At this stage Police cannot rule out that the two offences are linked and are considering that possibility as part of their investigation.

A vehicle that was used in a petrol drive-off on Sunday from a service station in Dunedin was located abandoned on a road near Milton yesterday. Police have not connected this vehicle to the two offences but a red vehicle was seen by witnesses in the vicinity at the time these occurred.

“We are interested to hear from anybody who may be aware of people offering tobacco products for sales,” says Detective Sergeant Ross.

If anyone can help us with our enquiries, please call Dunedin Central Police Station on 03 471 4800, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
