A message from Counties Manukau East

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police in Counties Manukau East are reminding residents to check the identification of official workers following reports of burglaries where suspects have impersonated officials.

What you need to know:
- Police have recently dealt with a number of burglaries in the Howick area, where a suspect has impersonated an official worker.
- There have been persons identifying themselves as official workers and visiting houses, advising residents they are there to check the water or power meters.
- Residents are being reminded that all official workers, regardless of which organisation they work for, will be clearly identifiable with photo ID, uniforms and fluro gear.
- Police encourage anyone who sees something that doesn’t appear right to contact Police.

Counties Manukau East Area Community Service Manager, Senior Sergeant Anson Lin, has shared:
"A high-vis jacket is no guarantee of authority - and sadly there are offenders out there who are trying to take advantage of people,”

“Don’t be afraid to challenge something or someone to ask for identification - official workers will be clearly identifiable. We need the public to report any suspicious activity so we can conduct enquiries and hold offenders to account."

“If you see suspicious behaviour and it is happening now please contact Police on 111 or if it is after the fact, contact Police on 105 or online at www.police.govt.nz...
