Information sought after assault and robbery - can you help Police?

Neighbourly.co.nz

At about 2:30pm on Saturday, an elderly gentleman was pulled from his silver Subaru on Townshend Street, Hastings. The three offenders assaulted him and drove off in his vehicle. The same vehicle was then used in a petrol drive-off from a Z service station.

The driver is described as being a fair-skinned Maori woman in her mid-20s, of solid build. Two men were described only as wearing dark hoodies and face masks.

If you have any information, please contact Hastings Police on (06) 831 0700 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
