Police investigating Hastings aggravated robbery

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police are investigating the aggravated robbery of the Angus Inn Bottle Store in Railway Road, Hastings that happened on Sunday night.

Fortunately nobody was physically injured in the robbery but those involved are understandably shaken.

Police are following positive lines of enquiry in relation to the robbery but we would still like to hear from anyone who was in the area of the bottle store at around 6.30pm and saw anything which could assist our investigation.

Anyone with information can call Detective Sergeant Emmet Lynch on 06 831 0700. Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers 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.
