Police Awareness Campaign regarding Deposit Fraud
Police have received a number of recent crimes relating to fraud on Facebook, specifically with regards to placing deposits.
Criminals are advertising items such as cars at a very very cheap price, and then urging people to place a deposit as soon as possible. The language these criminals use indicate that if you do not place a deposit very soon, the car might be sold. Unsuspecting buyers are caught up in their language of urgency and the criminals are disappearing with the deposits.
Police are requesting all persons to be cautious of placing a deposit for cars.
This may also be true of other items and even accommodation e.g. BnB as there have recently been fraudulent activities in this domain too.

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.
