It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.

Dice, a 9-year-old black poodle, and Weed, a 3-year-old black and white fox terrier cross, were first reported missing from the Otago Peninsula by their owners Alan Funnell and Louisa Andrew on October 17.
Andrew said on the first and second day New Zealand went into level-four lockdown in response to Covid-19, there were two potential sightings in Kaikōura. There was also another potential sighting in Picton last Friday, April 3.
"It's very difficult, we had a sighting in Kaikōura, which on day one of lockdown sounded really promising," Andrew said.
