One arrest after New Lynn aggravated robbery
Police have made an arrest following an aggravated robbery at New Lynn Train Station overnight.
Police were called to the transport hub at around 11.30pm on Tuesday night.
Detective Senior Sergeant Josh Lautogo, from Waitematā CIB, says the victim had alighted from a bus that had arrived. “The man was followed off the bus by a group of young people, when he was allegedly set upon by two people in the group,” he says.
“After assaulting the victim, they have taken a watch he was wearing and fled on foot.”
Police deployed to the transport hub, including a Police dog handler.
“The Police dog has begun tracking one of the alleged offenders and he was located in the nearby area,” Detective Senior Sergeant Lautogo says.
Detective Senior Sergeant Lautogo says Police are following positive lines of enquiry to locate the second male who was involved in the offending.
“This was a cowardly assault and the violent behaviour exhibited last night will not be tolerated,” he says. “Ambulance transported the victim to Waitākere Hospital for observations, but he did not suffer serious physical injuries.”

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.

Product recalls
I am appalled at the number of product recalls - salmon to snack balls to a huge range of toys. Not good enough manufacturers! Surely products are health and safety checked.
