Manawatu Police launch operation focused on aggravated robberies
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
