Assault and Food snatchers
Hi
The NZ Herald reported this morning of people who have purchased a Burger Fuel burger was attacked and had his burger snatched off him after he picked it up. The second incident is that a Uber order was taken off the person who was picking it up from delivery. Third incident was when the delivery truck for daily bakery products had his truck robbed of some items during delivery.
What desperate needs are driving these attackers? What measures can be taken to safeguard such attacks? Taken that these people may be hungry but all they have to do is ask and I am sure the owners would have given them a meal gladly instead of getting hurt in the process of unprovoked attacks.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
