Poll: Are you worried about safety and crime in your neighbourhood?
An 84-year-old was left www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|feeling insecure and vulnerable in one of Hamilton’s “bad neighbourhoods” after police cut down her wire fence chasing suspected robbers|.
More than four months after the incident the woman, who mostly lives by herself, says she is “disgusted with the police” and their lack of action - especially as her section backs onto a gully often used as a thoroughfare for people up to no good.
In a strange twist, police contacted her son about the repairs only hours after being approached by the Waikato Times for comment.
