Shots fired as Canterbury's Springston Hotel hit by armed robber

Reporter Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

Shots were fired during an armed robbery at the Springston Hotel last night.
It is the sixth aggravated robbery targeting bars with a lone gunman in Canterbury this year. It comes after Robbie's Bar and Bistro in Ashburton has been hit by burglars for the seventh time in a year.

Do you think police are doing enough to find the culprits and deter others from carrying out these crimes? If not, what more could they be doing?
With a rise in burglaries in residential and rural areas are you taking extra precautions around your own home?
