Manawatu Police launch operation focused on aggravated robberies

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In direct response to aggravated robberies at premises across Manawatu in recent months, Police have launched Operation Star.

Op Star is a multi-faceted response with a team dedicated to investigating the recent robberies and ensuring business owners and people across our community are best prepared to protect themselves from crime.

“The primary target for these robberies has been our local dairies and service stations, family-owned businesses which are an important part of our communities,” says Detective Jaz Woollett, the lead investigator in the Op Star team.

If you recognise people unfamiliar to your area hanging around your local dairy or service station, or if you see someone acting suspiciously, we need you to let us know.

Don’t hesitate to call Palmerston North Police on 06 351 2600, your information could be incredibly useful to us. If you witness a crime occurring, make sure you’re safe and call 111 immediately. Read more here

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
