Police appealing to public following North Shore attempted robberies
Police investigating two attempted robberies in the North Shore are appealing to the public to help identify a group of men.
On the evening of Saturday September 5, a group of people wearing masks rushed into a dairy in Beach Haven, and begun climbing over the counter and attempted to steal items, when they were discovered and confronted by a staff member.
They immediately ran out of the shop and fled in a stolen silver 1999 Honda Accord.
Shortly afterwards, the offenders have arrived at a liquor store in Forrest Hill and have again attempted to steal a number of items but fled when they were confronted by the store owner.
Detective Senior Sergeant Callum McNeill said police are making a number of extensive enquiries into the incidents, including reviewing CCTV footage.
“We believe these people may be able to assist us with our enquiries and we’re urging anyone who recognises them to do the right thing and contact police,” he said.
Anyone who recognises the individuals, or has information about their identities, is urged to contact Police on 105 quoting file number 200906/2016.
Information can also be provided via 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.

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!
