Information sought after assault and robbery - can you help Police?
At about 2:30pm on Saturday, an elderly gentleman was pulled from his silver Subaru on Townshend Street, Hastings. The three offenders assaulted him and drove off in his vehicle. The same vehicle was then used in a petrol drive-off from a Z service station.
The driver is described as being a fair-skinned Maori woman in her mid-20s, of solid build. Two men were described only as wearing dark hoodies and face masks.
If you have any information, please contact Hastings Police on (06) 831 0700 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

New neighbour
Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
