Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter - Feb issue
Hey Neighbours,
Team Blue have been very busy as usual along with a minor flood in the Onehunga Station public counter area resulting in it's temporary closure. If you need to visit the station it may be best to call them first to see where the repairs are up to.
When you read the newsletter you'll see reported crime in January was higher than average for this time of year
Also ... in 7 days across Auckland District stolen number plates rose by 400% !!!!!
The community policing team have 2 new members from Police college joining the ranks. You'll read some of the tasks the community policing team do along with assisting with other Police work.
Crimestoppers number is 0800 555 111 for reporting crime anonymously.
*555 for bad driving or boy racer activity
105 is the Police Crime reporting line - for non urgent reporting of an offence/suspicious behaviour.
There's plenty of information in the newsletter from Don in ways to keep yourself and your property safe.
It would be great if you could pop Don an email and thank him for his efforts with the newsletter in keeping us informed about our community.
Stay safe Neighbours
Regards
Colleen

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.
