Police appeal for information on aggravated robbery

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police want to hear from anyone who may have been in the area and seen the man running from the scene or noticed anything else out of the ordinary around that time.

The incident occurred at Erawan Thai Restaurant at the intersection of Shirley and Hills Roads around 6:45pm last night. A man entered the store with a knife and demanded money from staff members. Staff and guests ran from the restaurant out a side door and were uninjured in the incident. Police are ensuring the victims are supported.

The man has proceeded to take a significant amount of cash from the till and run from the restaurant down Shirley Road towards New Brighton.

People can contact Canterbury Police on 03 363 7400, or call Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
