Police checking newstead

Grant from Tauwhare

We were stopped at Newstead, which is not a border. Police tried to open my drivers door without permission. Fortunately it was locked. He refused to stand back a metre while questioning me. Keep your doors locked otherwise they may enter your car without permission.


Later edit: Please read my replies to peoples comments below, before attacking me. We were polite and respect what the police do in their jobs. I was just trying to warn people that this happened. Some people felt the need to attack me, and this doesn't feel right.

Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.

The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
If you witness vandalism in progress, please contact the police immediately.

We want to know: Do you have ideas on how we can better protect our public spaces?
