Thanks to the brave and quick actions of these members of the public (pictured centre and centre right) – an offender who was trying to make a getaway after stealing money from a Henderson dairy was stopped and swiftly arrested. 👏

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.

Illegal earthwork has led to an “imminent risk” to six homes and properties on Napier Hill.
Stuart and Elizabeth McMillan have been given until February 2 to carry out remedial work on the hill surrounding a large commercial property they own on Northe​ Street, at the western foot of Napier Hill.
The Napier City Council was granted an application for the enforcement order late last month after experts became concerned about the imminent threat posed by the removal of hundreds of cubic metres of earth.

The roofless and lonely house that was once a warm and much-loved home

Check out this lovely story from Marty Sharpe.

For many years Haumiata Lucas would raise a hand to block her view as she passed the old villa on the approach to Waimarama, Hawke’s Bay.
Once a much-loved and majestic home with a wide verandah and large sash windows, today it sits roofless and lonely, and very near collapse, in the middle of a maize field.
Lucas was 18 when she last lived here.
Now 86, she walks cautiously across the rows of young maize towards the house. The ground is rough, and she takes a supporting hand now and then. That allows her to lift her gaze from the dirt to the house.
