Early morning robbers hit McDonald's in Cambridge and Hamilton

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

McDonald's staff at two Waikato restaurants were forced to hide in safe rooms and bathrooms after robbers struck on Friday. McDonald's on Queen St in Cambridge was the first to be robbed by several offenders at 3.55am.

A short time later what's believed to be the same assailants again smashed their way into the McDonald's restaurant on Horsham Downs Rd in Rototuna. It appears several vehicle loads of offenders were involved in the incident.

Anyone with information which may be of use to police in these investigations to contact Hamilton police on 07 858 6200. Police are at the robbery scenes this morning and scene examinations are underway. Alternatively, people can call Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111. Read more here.

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?
