Aggravated robbery incident in Calflers Park
My son and his girlfriend were attacked by 3 gutless thugs in the park behind the library about a month ago, in the middle of the day. He was intimidated and forced to hand over all his stuff including his wallet and backpack and other items. A report was made to the police and strange enough we saw the same people with a backpack that looked the same as the one taken a few days after, we were able to photo shoot one of them. We informed the police as we were able to identify who he was through a number of people we know in the community. The police visited his place but the family is protecting him and nothing seems to be happening. This was a blatant non provoked, aggravated robbery and the identified person has a history of this by what the other people are saying. I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar unprovoked incident like this recently. As these people are blatant and seem to have no concerns still walking the streets.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
