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 As usual, please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article.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.
Ruapekapeka Pā is arguably the best preserved battlefield of the NZ Wars and a prime example of Māori ingenuity for modern warfare. Over the weekend, 175 years since the Battle of Ruapekapeka was marked with a series of events. Did you attend? What was it like? Did you learn anything new?
An increasing number of people seem to think the Waipu river is a great place to rip up and down on jetskis and waterski, and claim not to know about the speed limits. For those who are unsure, NOBODY should be doing more than 5 knots anywhere within 200m of a shoreline (this includes rivers). … View moreAn increasing number of people seem to think the Waipu river is a great place to rip up and down on jetskis and waterski, and claim not to know about the speed limits. For those who are unsure, NOBODY should be doing more than 5 knots anywhere within 200m of a shoreline (this includes rivers). Jetskis are also required to clearly display a registration number or be liable for an instant fine. If you wish to help educate others and keep our rivers and beaches safe for swimmers and non-motorised craft (as well as preventing erosion), I've attached some screen shots below and here is a link to the full rules: www.nrc.govt.nz...

One Whangārei community is having a sea wall built to help stop coastal erosion while in another Northland community locals are advocating for managed retreat. What do you think we should do in response to this very real threat on our doorstep?

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?

Far North Mayor, John Carter QSO, says it was a very significant fire for the coastal settlement. “I would like to pay tribute to the outstanding work carried out by FENZ and the other emergency services. Without their intervention I shudder to think what might have happened. I also want to thank the many individuals and organisations in the area that provided a wonderful level of support to those in the community who were evacuated at the height of the emergency.”
Mayor Carter also has a strong fire safety message to visitors and residents alike: “It is so important that advice and instructions offered by FENZ is followed – to do otherwise is both foolhardy and dangerous. This fire was a warning to us. Fortunately, we've escaped without loss of life, loss of property or injury this time. Every resident and every visitor to Northland has a responsibility to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again. This has been a massive warning.”
A total fire ban has been in place for Whangārei and Kaipara since Thursday 24 December. The Far North remains in a restricted fire season meaning a permit is needed for all outdoor fires. However, fire permits are suspended in the area until further notice due to the weather conditions. For the latest details on where and when you can light a fire, go to the FENZ www.checkitsalright.nz... webpage.
