Mail thefts in Dairy Flat, Coatesville areas

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours. Police are investigating a spate of mail thefts in the Dairy Flat and Coatesville-Riverhead areas. Residents have reported streets of mail boxes being found open in the mornings, missing mail and letters strewn across neighbourhoods in the last month.
Others reported finding stacks of opened mail addressed to different people in their mail boxes. Some were planning to booby trap their mail boxes with dog faeces or glitter in hopes of catching the culprits, but police advised against this, saying the investigation should be left to them.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
