String of burglaries in Dunedin and surrounds

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Senior Sergeant Trevor Thomson from Dunedin said a van was broken into on Monday in Wray St, Brockville, between 6am and 6pm. Over the hill in Gordon Rd, Mosgiel, a burglar helped themselves to two Oamaru stone sculptures. In town, a Masport lawnmower and petrol container went missing from a property in Edith Pl, Shiel Hill, between Saturday and Wednesday last week.

And lastly a home in Glen Rd, Table Mound, just west of Milburn lost its coffee machine and capsules, cups, stereo, lawnmower and other items, Snr Sgt Thomson said.

If you see anything suspicious in your neighbourhood make sure to contact Dunedin police (03) 471-4800 or Crimestoppers 0800-555-111.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
