Community Constable Don Allan's May newsletter
Good afternoon Neighbours,
Don states that last month property was up 1.3% from the previous month, 59% reported happened during the day which is common whereas industrial burglaries tend to be targeted at night.
Last month police recovered twenty-eight stolen motor vehicles in our community.
13 of these vehicles were recovered in the Onehunga area, 6 in Royal Oak, 5 in Epsom,3 in Penrose and 1 in Hillsborough. Don has personally recovered a number of these, many he states were due to vigilant residents noticing unfamiliar cars abandoned in their streets.
Number plate theft is ongoing with 74 stolen in Auckland in the last 28 days. ( see the email - onehunga@cpnz.org.nz ) on how to get temper proof screws fitted.
Stolen motorcycles -28 stolen within Auckland, the majority of those stolen being Japanese brands such as Yamaha’s Suzuki's, Honda’s and Kawasaki’s.
now... here comes Onehunga's statistics in general....

Again Don offers advise to reduce burglary opportunities.
PLEASE pass this onto as many people as you can because I keep seeing ongoing contents stolen out of vehicles , which is fairly easy I think to stop it before it starts e.g. golf club, phones, lap tops, tools etc.
Thanks again to Don for keeping us informed :-)
Regards
Colleen

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.

Some Choice News!
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!
