Auckland Central Police have cleared out two apartments full of stolen property, resulting in four arrests.
In the process an excess of 80 stolen items, including 13 electric scooters, have been recovered by Police.

Auckland Central Area Commander Inspector Grant Tetzlaff says an investigation has been underway into a series of burglaries at businesses and apartments in the city over the past month.
On Wednesday morning, the City Tactical Crime Unit along with the Beat Team and Police Support Unit executed two search warrants.
“Operation Rocket homed in on two apartments within a Hobson Street complex,” Inspector Tetzlaff says.
“Inside our teams came across an Aladdin’s cave of stolen property and it’s going to take some time to work through where everything has come from.”
Amongst the find was 13 electric scooters, an assortment of power tools and other electronic valuables.
Some of the power tools have been linked to a North Shore burglary in 2019, Inspector Tetzlaff says.

Four people at the addresses have been arrested and charged.
“Charges laid at this point relate to two burglaries at a Wellesley Street business, and a Union Street apartment last month,” he says.
Those charged are two men, aged 28 and 36, and two women, aged 35 and 41.

A 28-year-old man has been charged with two counts of burglary. He has also been charged with the aggravated robbery of an electric scooter in January.

A 41-year-old woman faces two charges of burglary. The other two arrested face charges of receiving stolen property.

Separately, a 47-year-old woman was located during search warrants in possession of methamphetamine and charged accordingly.
“The team working on Operation Rocket are continuing with their enquiries and further charges cannot be ruled out at this stage,” Inspector Tetzlaff says.
“Burglary is a serious offence and brings with it a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.
“It’s a fantastic outcome as our team continue to work hard in holding this offending to account.”

Those charged are now before the Auckland District Court.

SENIORS DAY OUT

The Perks of Getting Older 🎉
I woke up this morning, to my surprise,

A few more wrinkles around my eyes.
But I’ve learned to smile, it’s not so bad,
For every year I get, I’m more glad.
My memory’s fading, that’s the truth,
I forget the little things, like my youth.
But I’m not complaining, it’s all just fine,
I still remember where I left my wine! 🍷
My knees are creaky, and my back’s a pain,
But I’ve got wisdom, so what’s to gain?
I’ve learned to laugh at the little things,
Like forgetting where I put my rings! 💍
So here’s to getting older, no need to fear,
We’re just adding more fun with every year! 🎉

It's tax return time. Scammers are impersonating Inland Revenue (IR) - and even the Police to steal personal information and money.

They may contact you by email, text, or phone, claiming:
🔹 You're owed a tax refund and must provide your bank details to receive it.
🔹 You owe tax and need to pay immediately to avoid legal trouble.

How to stay safe:
✅ Don’t click on links in emails or texts - log in to your myIR account directly.
✅ Check the sender - official IRD emails always end in @ird.govt.nz.
✅ Be cautious with texts - IRD only sends messages from four-digit codes, not
regular phone numbers.

If self-doubt, fear, or unproductive habits are holding you back, let’s talk.

You don’t have to navigate anxiety, self-worth struggles, or uncertainty alone. Many of my clients have struggled with procrastination, indecision, or feeling held back.

But transformation isn’t about forcing change, it’s about uncovering the confidence and clarity that’s already within you.

Using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and Hypnotherapy, I help clients reframe unhelpful beliefs, release emotional barriers, and create deep, lasting transformation at the subconscious level. This isn’t just about coping, it’s about real change.

With a background in education, coaching, and personal development, I create a supportive space where real transformation happens. Whether through one-on-one sessions, group sessions, or workshops, my goal is to help you gain the tools to thrive, personally and professionally.

💻 Sessions are available online, so you can join from anywhere.

🆕 In-person sessions in the Hibiscus Coast, Auckland, are now available starting in April! An amazing opportunity for those who prefer in-person support.

🗣️ Sessions are available in English and Spanish.

And to make transformation accessible, I offer Afterpay and flexible payment plans. Your growth is an investment, and it should feel possible.

Let’s talk if this resonates. Schedule a free information session today.
