Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.
He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.
Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.
He was then arrested and taken into custody.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.
The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.
A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

We'd love to hear about the great places you've discovered over your summer holidays, whether it's somewhere local or on a trip away. Did you come across a particularly amazing beach, camping ground, town, walk or scenic spot? What made it so special? Any activities or places to eat and drink you can recommend in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article.
Cheers.

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue. It’s the perfect sanctuary for its Wellington owners, who find themselves unwinding as soon as they walk through its front gate. Where's your favourite place to unwind over the summer?

If you are a busy parent; have someone else to do the vacuuming
If you are retired and want to share your skills informally with keen learners; you can
If your budget is tight but you could do with pampering: you can
If you are new to town: make new friends
If you are job seeking: learn new skills and make contacts
If you don't have whānau close by to support; let our community members tautoko
If you simple home repairs to do, have someone can fix it for you
If you want to pay it forward but at times that work for you, you can
How?
By trading skills and experience for time, rather than money via TaranakiTimeBank.
This past year has been one for the books...
We just want to say THANK YOU to our amazing customers for your support this year and wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2021!
