On Monday, 20 August 2018, a container listed as a shipment of bananas arrived in Auckland, New Zealand, on a vessel from Balboa, Panama.
New Zealand Customs and Police inspected the container and found five duffel bags on top of the banana boxes, which contained 190 blocks of cocaine each weighing around a kilogram that had been wrapped in packaging tape.

Be aware, police have identified a new telephone scam targeting New Zealanders. If you receive an angry call from someone seeking compensation for car damages, hang up. To read more, click here.
What you need to know:
- The call will be from an international number that's then redirected through a local number.
- The aggressive scammer could be very convincing.
- Upon answering, they demand money for damages from a vehicle collision they claim you were involved in.
- Police are urging people to warn elderly relatives so they do not fall victim to the scam and lose money.
- If you receive a call of this nature, police advise you to hang up immediately.

The tracks were in great shape, and I found the climb uphill to be a bit easier than in the past, maybe because of the additional stairs that were put in. The view from the lookout over Whangarei Harbour is a nice reward for the effort, in my opinion. If you haven't been up there for a while (or at all), maybe give it a go - I think it's well worth it.

Mighty Mike to the Rescue, which go on sale this week, is the service's third children's book following the success of Juliet to the Rescue in 2016 and Lima Leaps to the Rescue last year.
The book will be launched on November 16 with two events, one at Whangarei's St Francis Xavier Primary School and the other at Morningside School to celebrate Northland Rescue Helicopter's 30 years in service and as part of its annual fundraising appeal.
All proceeds from the sale of the books go to the Northland Emergency Services Trust which operates the Northland Rescue Helicopters.
Illustrated by Auckland artist Tony McNeight, the books are an adventure series that follow the rescue service's three helicopters during daring life-saving missions around Northland.
The latest book follows thrill-seeking brother and sister duo Tia and Ollie who head off to explore the swamps and bogs at popular Kai Iwi Lakes. With their native bird friends in tow, including Kenny the Kererū and Kiri the Kiwi, they find themselves lost as darkness descends.
