Suspicious approach to student in Timaru

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police want to talk to a man who approached a child on their way home from school on Tuesday.

The man, described as a Maori, aged between 25-40 years with a bald head, wearing sunglasses and a black top, was, according to police, driving a vehicle when the child was approached on the corner of Victoria and Queens Sts and spoken to briefly. The child ran away, across King Street, prompting other traffic to beep their horns. The man continued to follow him in his car which is described as having black peeling paint.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the approach or have any information to contact the Timaru Police on (03) 684 6086. Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously by calling CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.

Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.

Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'

She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)
