Four teens scared off by 21-year-old man working at his family dairy in Auckland

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Adrenaline hit a 21-year-old man when four masked teens entered his family’s superette while he worked with his sister.

Manav Prasad and his younger sister were starting to close Kauri Park Superette in Beach Haven on Saturday night when four masked men entered.

“They were after smokes ... they jumped on the counter and I just started screaming at them,” Prasad said.

Prasad told Stuff he grabbed a hockey stick, that is kept behind the counter for security, and waved it at them to try scare them off – which he succeeded in.

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?
