Four months on from the Auckland Anniversary floods, the Beggs family are still waiting for repairs to begin on their home, in the meantime they are living in small cabins on the property.

Catherine Beggs​​ and her family were forced to swim to safety in waist-deep water on the night of January 27.

They returned home the following day to find they had lost all their belongings in the deluge - including their recently-renovated home in Mt Roskill.

Good afternoon Neighbours,

Don states that last month property was up 1.3% from the previous month, 59% reported happened during the day which is common whereas industrial burglaries tend to be targeted at night.
Last month police recovered twenty-eight stolen motor vehicles in our community.
13 of these vehicles were recovered in the Onehunga area, 6 in Royal Oak, 5 in Epsom,3 in Penrose and 1 in Hillsborough. Don has personally recovered a number of these, many he states were due to vigilant residents noticing unfamiliar cars abandoned in their streets.

Number plate theft is ongoing with 74 stolen in Auckland in the last 28 days. ( see the email - onehunga@cpnz.org.nz ) on how to get temper proof screws fitted.

Stolen motorcycles -28 stolen within Auckland, the majority of those stolen being Japanese brands such as Yamaha’s Suzuki's, Honda’s and Kawasaki’s.

now... here comes Onehunga's statistics in general....
Onehunga :
Selwyn St – (6) 3 thefts from cars, 2 burglaries, 1 stolen motor vehicle Campbell Rd – (6) 3 burglaries, 3 stolen motor vehicles
Onehunga Mall – (5) 2 burglaries, 3 stolen motor vehicles
Arthur St – (5) 2 thefts from cars, 3 burglaries
Princes St – 5 thefts from cars
Mt Smart Rd – (3) 2 thefts from cars, 1 burglary
Rawhiti Rd – 3 burglaries
Grey St – (3) 1 theft from a car, 1 burg, 1 stolen motor vehicle Namata Rd (2) 1 theft from a car, 1 stolen motor vehicle
Spring St (2) 1 theft from a car, 1 stolen motor vehicle
Paihia Rd (2) 1 theft from a car, 1 stolen motor vehicle
Tawa Rd (2) 1 theft from a car, 1 burg
Captain Springs Rd (2) 1 theft from a car, 1 stolen motor vehicle Hoheria Rd (2)1 theft from a car, 1 burg
Mariri Rd (2) 2 burglaries
Church St (2) 1 theft from a car, 1 burg
Moana Ave 2 burglaries
Mays Rd 2 burglaries
Felix St 2 burglaries
Cardwell St 2 burglaries
Trafalgar St (2) 1 theft from a car, 1 burg

See the attachment for Royal Oak/Epsom. Penrose. etc

Again Don offers advise to reduce burglary opportunities.

PLEASE pass this onto as many people as you can because I keep seeing ongoing contents stolen out of vehicles , which is fairly easy I think to stop it before it starts e.g. golf club, phones, lap tops, tools etc.

Thanks again to Don for keeping us informed :-)

Regards
Colleen
