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 As usual, please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article.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.

She had four children one a daughter named Sharon Jane Barker who is the person I would very much like to get in contact with. Sharon posted a message on Ancestry in 2002 for any information on living relations in the UK. A relative of mine in the UK stumbled on the message as he was researching his tree which includes the husband of Shirley Madeline a William Peter Barker. He did reply to the message but got no reply, so asked, being as I live in NZ if I could help him find Sharon. So I am putting this out to all of Taranaki and hopefully someone out there will be able to help me with my mission. Thank you, Teresa Barker.
We hope you’ve managed to enjoy the break, or if you’ve had to work through, that you get some time off soon.

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?

Hi everyone. Does anybody know if there is a partition going around to stop the closure of the TSB Fitzroy Branch. To me, it is a bad move by our local bank to close this branch.

Does anybody know if there is a partition going around to stop the closure of the TSB Fitzroy Branch. To me, it is a bad move by our local bank to close this branch. We are now told that we will be able to use Bell Block Branch or go into the middle of town to the Centre Branch. Good luck with that?? Tell that to all the elderly people who have been living in Fitzroy and surrounding suburbs for many years. Just how these people are going to get to these branches is mind boggling. All they want to do is go and get cash out from a teller - not a machine sticking out of a wall that they have trouble using - stand in a queue at the supermarket and see how well older people go at using their card.
The TSB has always been about people and the connectivity between customers and staff - not customers and machines or faceless people at the end of a phone (at least their phone operators I believe are here in New Plymouth and not some far off land)
Come on TSB, get back to the basics and look after your customers. Remember they pay your wages.
