Woman steals police car in Papatoetoe

Caroline Williams Reporter from Manukau Courier

A woman has been arrested after allegedly stealing a police car in south Auckland's Papatoetoe.
The 31-year-old was riding a motorcycle when she was pulled over by officers during a routine traffic stop on Thursday.
After she was spoken to by the officer, she locked herself in the police car, and drove it away.
The car, which had firearms inside, was located more than two hours later after an "extensive search" by police.
It is expected the woman will face charges, including for unlawfully taking a motor vehicle

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!
