Police operation: reducing vehicle theft in Waitemata.
Today, Operation Volume Crime Response Team will begin focusing on vehicle theft in the Waitemata area. A dedicated local Police team will be targeting offenders across the area who are committing vehicle theft over the next three months.
Sergeant Jon Winthrop says Police know from past experience, that the next few months are particularly prevalent for car crime and are proactively targeting these offenders,
“It is upsetting and inconvenient for members of our community to be victims of this type of crime. If we catch these offenders we can actively reduce the impact this has on people who are victims,” he said.
Offenders will often target a number of cars in close proximity which causes a spike in car crime in those areas. Often when vehicles are stolen they are used to commit further offences such as burglary and aggravated robbery and this operation is aiming to reduce volume related crime.
Operation Volume Crime Response Team will run from June 18 to September 28.

Mana (Authority, Power, and Prestige) - Day 15
Māui and the Sacred Fire
Māui, a legendary hero, sought to bring fire to the people from Mahuika, the Atua of fire. Māui approached Mahuika with respect for her mana, acknowledging her as the keeper of sacred power. Through wit and humility, he earned her trust, receiving the secret of fire to share with humankind. This act elevated Māui's mana and showed the importance of respecting authority while using power for the greater good.
Moral: Recognise and honour the mana of others while wielding authority with responsibility and integrity.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
