Shots fired as Canterbury's Springston Hotel hit by armed robber
Shots were fired during an armed robbery at the Springston Hotel last night.
It is the sixth aggravated robbery targeting bars with a lone gunman in Canterbury this year. It comes after Robbie's Bar and Bistro in Ashburton has been hit by burglars for the seventh time in a year.
Do you think police are doing enough to find the culprits and deter others from carrying out these crimes? If not, what more could they be doing?
With a rise in burglaries in residential and rural areas are you taking extra precautions around your own home?

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)
