please be careful out there!

Lisa from Snells Beach & Mahurangi East

Good morning I'm re posting the below from Warkworth page....be safe out there everyone.
Think our community needs to be aware of a possible serial predator lurking around the top of Pulham Rd and Bluegum.
Our young 16 year old boarder was attacked coming home last night after work at 8:20pm hes jumped out of the bushes in front of no. 8 pulham rd and knocked her to the ground. She has been lucky enough to fight her way free, and as shes ran from him he has pulled a knife from his pocket and continued to chase her past john andrews drive where he finally gave up. It has been reported to the police.
UPDATE
[Was wearing white hoody, grey tracks and black shoes age late 20 - 30s she wasnt able to see his face properly he had pulled cords in hoody so face was covered, medium build discribed as tanned wasnt able to distingush nationality due to no lights that part of pulham rd]
The worrying thing is i have seen other posts relating to similar incidents in town.
Please be vigilent i think this man has been surveying the area because my daughter has mentioned a suspious character who followed both girls home a week prior around the same time and has dissapeared down John Andrews drive also we believe it may be the same man.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
