Police investigating Hastings aggravated robbery

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police are investigating the aggravated robbery of the Angus Inn Bottle Store in Railway Road, Hastings that happened on Sunday night.

Fortunately nobody was physically injured in the robbery but those involved are understandably shaken.

Police are following positive lines of enquiry in relation to the robbery but we would still like to hear from anyone who was in the area of the bottle store at around 6.30pm and saw anything which could assist our investigation.

Anyone with information can call Detective Sergeant Emmet Lynch on 06 831 0700. Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
