Hi neighbours. A man who allegedly stole $5-6,000 worth of down feather puffer jackets from Macpac Ponsonby in a "grab and run" robbery was apprehended on Lake Rd after police traced his vehicle movements with the Eagle helicopter. The man was charged with shoplifting and will appear in the Auckland District Court on Friday.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
