Christchurch police warn of rising burglaries in summer months
Christchurch police are urging the public to keep their homes locked up as the number of burglary attempts is likely to rise over summer.
Area prevention manager acting Inspector Paul Reeves said summer was a more common time for burglaries, as people left windows open more and spent time in their gardens.
"It makes it easier for career criminals," he said.

ANZAC REMEMBRANCE 🙏
Ode of Remembrance
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
