Jumping thief in neighbourhood

Neeta from Mount Albert

Hi all
This afternoon around 5 pm, we had a female running over a few fences and an alert neighbour and friend sent me an urgent text saying she had seen her jump their fence and was into ours and then the next..it seems she was running away from someone, probably the cops..
We alerted our other immediate neighbours. She was seen entering an empty and unlocked house, another guy joined her soon. She even calmly tried to make casual conversation across the fence, with another family member of mine, about another accident near our house enquiring why cops were there etc etc..
My friend had already called the cops in and as they were talking to us, she walks out the driveway and was identified as the same one walking into the drive way earlier. The cop followed her and we were later told by the cops that this was the same female they were looking for in connection with a bike theft nearby.. and that she has now been arrested.
We saw her being handcuffed and being put in the car later.
Not sure if these guys live in that empty house- actually up for rent. The cops did go inside and have a look.
As a result of all our combined efforts, we were able to keep a thief off-from amongst the community and alerting immediate neighbours in the process.
Just a neighbourly reminder, please do alert your immediate neighbours and the cops of any suspicious intruders, or suspicious properties, as they could be dangerous.
Take care

ORTHOPAEDIC MATTRESS: A BED FOR ALL OR JUST A MARKETING HYPE?

Beds 4 U Avondale

Hi Neighbours,

Are you tired of waking up with back pain or feeling restless after a night's sleep?

If so, consider an orthopaedic mattress to improve sleep quality and well-being.

But the question arises, "Is an orthopaedic mattress good for everyone?"

We'll explore the benefits of orthopedic mattresses and help you decide if they're the right choice for your sleep needs.

Orthopaedic Mattress vs. Normal Mattress
The term "orthopaedic mattress" often sparks curiosity, and rightfully so. While it sounds like a specialised medical product, it's important to understand how it differs from a regular mattress.

Regular mattresses may be comfortable but might not provide enough targeted support for back pain or sleep posture.

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to focus on aligning the spine and relieving pressure. They can help ease back pain, joint discomfort, and muscle tension, leading to healthier and more restful sleep.

Can Anyone Use an Orthopaedic Mattress?
You might wonder if orthopedic mattresses are exclusive to those with specific health conditions.

The truth is orthopaedic mattresses are designed to support your body's natural alignment.

It suits athletes, busy professionals, parents, or anyone who values good sleep. They are perfect for anyone seeking a more supportive and comfortable sleep surface.

Consider an orthopedic mattress if you want to wake up refreshed and pain-free.

What is an Orthopaedic Mattress, and How Does It Help Reduce Back Pain?
An orthopaedic mattress is not a gimmick; it's designed for orthopaedic health. It uses memory foam or latex to support your body's shape.

By aligning your spine, it reduces pressure on joints and muscles. This benefits those with back pain or arthritis. The support prevents sinking, avoiding discomfort.

Studies show it improves sleep quality and reduces back pain. Find the right firmness and type for your body and sleep preferences.
