This is the first Christmas the giant Santa Claus will not be greeting Auckland children making a trip into town.

The beckoning and winking old gent has been a familiar face in the central city since 1960 when he first graced the side of the Farmers department store on Hobson St.

The cost of storing Santa during the year and the upkeep of the ageing structure led to last year being his last appearance.

A scam combining social media and old-school cheques has seen dozens of Aucklanders duped out of their cars.

In response, police are warning of the risks of unregulated trading online via Facebook Marketplace, where the scams took place.

The social media giant said it was sorry to hear what had happened and urged people to be wary of accepting payments via cheques on its Marketplace section.

Police across Auckland have received more than 50 complaints from people scammed out of their cars via the cheque swindle in the past year.

A student who was infectious with Covid-19 may have lowered the number of people she infected by wearing a mask at work in Auckland's CBD.

The student's decision to mask-up might have mitigated the number of secondary infections, said physicist and disease modeller Professor Shaun Hendy.

A neighbour of the woman returned a weak positive result on Saturday.

While 5400 tests were done in Auckland alone, no new community cases were revealed.
