A Waikato School that does its own lunches says their model works so well they want the government to check it out so both taxpayers and students can benefit.

The Waikato Times visited Te Aroha College to check out the programme as grizzles about late and bland lunches under a centralised scheme continue to leave a sour taste for students and become a political fishbone stuck in the throat of the coalition government.

Burglaries in Rangiora

The quick work of Police staff has led to the apprehension of three young people following a string of offences in Rangiora this morning.
Alarm activations, the proactive work of officers on the ground in Rangiora, and proactive reporting led to the arrests following three commercial burglaries on High Street, and Ashley Street.
Police were called to action after a patrol unit conducting proactive patrols in Rangiora saw the fog cannon of a phone store had been activated on Ashley Street around 4:10am.

Following this sighting, Police were notified of two further burglaries after two more store alarms were activated, including a fog cannon at one of the stores.
A vehicle was seen leaving from near one of the stores in the Rangiora CBD, however, was not pursued and was subsequently located abandoned outside another store.
Later this morning, a vehicle freshly reported stolen was seen driving on Ohoka Road and signalled to stop, however the driver failed to do so and continued onto Williams Street. A pursuit was not initiated.
Around 4:40am Police came across the vehicle crashed on Main North Road near Doubledays Road, Kaiapoi.
As a precaution, the three occupants were checked over by ambulance staff, but they were uninjured.

All three young people were well known to Police. They have been remanded in custody and are due to reappear in the Christchurch Youth Court on charges including failing to stop, unlawfully getting into a vehicle, and burglary.
This behaviour is understandably frustrating for business owners and residents in our community. We are glad to have held these offenders accountable almost immediately after the offences were reported.

Police continue to encourage the community to report suspicious behaviour by calling 111 if it is happening now, or 105 if it is after the fact.
