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 As usual, please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article.

The little white kiwi with a feisty personality was more than just a bird to those who met her and the institutions who served as her guardians.
The extremely rare bird made the news across the world as the first white kiwi chick to be hatched in captivity back in 2011, and she died on December 27, 2020 after surgery to remove an infertile egg that had become stuck.

This unit in good but used condition and sorry but comes with out tapware. It has scuff marks here n there and a rip in the front. Over all though this basin still looks reasonably stylish its very comfortable. It has a side lever to adjust the chair from seated upright to a more reclined position. Needs to be picked up from Kilbirnie, I haven't ever done this but I think you can take the basin off. I Also have a matching basin only in white its not attached to a recliner or anything Ill post this listing and photos asap but if interested let me know. The measurement's for the black unit are 117cm x 94cm x 70cm. The measurement's for just the basin its self are 63cm x 50cm The white one is same as the black so no.s should be the same. The white basin is priced at $50. Cheers K
Price: $150

I'm a one and a half year old, medium cross breed - with a mix of staffy and boxer. I'm very affectionate with humans. Although, I'm recommended to stay with teenagers and older, as I'm a little unfamiliar with children. Otherwise, I'm the biggest cuddle bug! I have been socialised with some dogs at the centre, so I won't mind living with a friendly, playful dog. I would love a family that can take me out for walks everyday and keep me active."
