Update – robbery and theft investigations in Dunedin

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police in Dunedin are continuing to investigate a theft at the Stadium Dairy on Sunday 15 July and the robbery of the Elgin Food Mart last night (Monday 16 July 2018).

At this stage Police cannot rule out that the two offences are linked and are considering that possibility as part of their investigation.

A vehicle that was used in a petrol drive-off on Sunday from a service station in Dunedin was located abandoned on a road near Milton yesterday. Police have not connected this vehicle to the two offences but a red vehicle was seen by witnesses in the vicinity at the time these occurred.

“We are interested to hear from anybody who may be aware of people offering tobacco products for sales,” says Detective Sergeant Ross.

If anyone can help us with our enquiries, please call Dunedin Central Police Station on 03 471 4800, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

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!
