Appeared to be white, tall-ish, thin, 20's-ish, dark clothing with basketball/baseball looking top with numbers, baseball cap.
He took off when I yelled out the window at him and left a lingering overpowering smell of aftershave. Have told Police.

PETTY THEFT AT BURGER KING, CLARK ST, NEW LYNN

Hi to you all and especially the hard-working owners of Burger King, Clark St, New Lynn.
Are you aware that while you are working and serving, the low life who hang around your back entrance, are coming in with an empty 2 litre soft drink bottle and filling it for free at your drink station? Making a huge mess while they do so.
This is happening on a regular basis and very brazenly.
It is not my profits which are being eroded, but I am mystified as to why you haven't put a stop to it. Locking the back entrance would solve it.

Best wishes for the festive season,
Linda

Firefighters tackling a blaze at a large indoor sports arena discovered asbestos burning in the building's roof.
The fire at Arena 149 - an indoor field for those who play the shooting game airsoft - on Hepburn Rd in Glendene, was reported at 6.09 am on Friday.
Auckland Council's pollution control team visited the building and found no other issues besides the asbestos.
If inhaled, asbestos particles may cause coughing and phlegm. Asbestos is a proven carcinogen, which can cause cancer after prolonged exposure to large amounts of it.
The fire tore through about 60 per cent of the building, before firefighters managed to contain it to a section of the upper floor. The fire was out by 7.30am.
