Wahoo - those steering locks, immobilisers and removing valuables from your vehicles must be helping.

Onehunga Mall (4 incidents) 3 x burgs,1 x theft ex-car Arthur St (4 incidents) 3 x burg, 1 x theft ex-car,

Mt Smart Road (2 incidents) 1 x burg, 1 stolen vehicle. Roosevelt Ave (2 incidents) 1 x burg, 1 stolen vehicle. Princes St (2 incidents) 1 x burg, 1 stolen vehicle.
Hill St (2 incidents) 1 x burg, 1 stolen vehicl

Don comments .....
A few months ago my team led by Sergeant Gwilliam initiated a quick response approach focusing on local retail crime in Onehunga.
We have seen an amazing result considering all the other demands that community policing require of our team.

Check points will increase in Auckland over the next few months for drivers to take a roadside evidential breath test.

Don has put information on "Trees and boundaries in relation to trimming" & "Can I cut back branches or roots encroaching from my neighbours property" "What can I do if a neighbour’s tree is dangerous or blocking the view or light?" "Who pays for the work if the court makes an order to remove or trim a tree? " " What if the neighbour doesn’t carry out the court order? "

Onehunga Community Patrol - what they do and how to join.
This is a very worthwhile & helpful community activity.... check it out if you feel you'd like to help.

Stay safe and Spring is here with lambs and blossoms

This evening (Monday, 14th October) there will be high winds and NZTA have shared a message for those using the Harbour Bridge.

What you need to know:
- The wind watch is for between 8pm Monday 14 October and 9am Tuesday 15 October.
- At this time, the Harbour Bridge will be in 4 x 4 formation. This may remain for the Tuesday morning peak traffic.
- During this period be prepared for speed and lane restrictions.
- Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards and traffic management which will indicate lane closures and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- If gusts exceed the wind thresholds there is a possibility of a temporary full closure on the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18. We also recommend other motorists use the western ring route where possible.

NZTA will continue to work closely with Metservice to monitor conditions and ensure decisions are made based on up-to-date and accurate information on predicted and current wind speeds. You can keep up to date with traffic at the NZTA website.
