House breaking and Theft during school holidays.
Tracey Dorward from Mairangi street, Mahora posted on 6th Oct.
Just got home to find I had been broken into. Laptop stolen and they 1/2 emptied my freezer, such as meat and bread. So look out for board teens as they were spotted in the area. Police have been notified.

My neighbors very near the shops got their garage cleaned out while they were inside asleep. Shocking.
Residents be aware it is school holidays and some groups of teenagers have been seen scouting out houses. Be observant and call the Police if any trespassing is seen. It is hard to determine what is suspicious and what is definitely not. If you see youths coming on to your property or your neighbours property then call the neighbour and/or the Police.
