Four teens scared off by 21-year-old man working at his family dairy in Auckland
Hi neighbours,
Adrenaline hit a 21-year-old man when four masked teens entered his family’s superette while he worked with his sister.
Manav Prasad and his younger sister were starting to close Kauri Park Superette in Beach Haven on Saturday night when four masked men entered.
“They were after smokes ... they jumped on the counter and I just started screaming at them,” Prasad said.
Prasad told Stuff he grabbed a hockey stick, that is kept behind the counter for security, and waved it at them to try scare them off – which he succeeded in.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
