How is this possible?

Detective Gabrielle Parsons says Police are investigating damage involving parked vehicles over the past week on Ferry Road, Tucker Lane, Allens Lane, Sutton Avenue and State Highway 51.
“The damage has mainly been done overnight. Windows have been smashed, vehicles rummaged through, and in some cases ignition was damaged.”
Police are conducting enquiries into the incidents to identify and locate those responsible.
“If you recognise anyone in these pictures, we believe they can assist us with our enquiries, please get in touch.”
We ask anyone who has seen suspicious behaviour around parked vehicles, or who has dashcam/CCTV footage from these streets between 6 and 12 March, to contact us as soon as possible.
Detective Parsons says it’s a good time to remember to park your vehicle off the street if possible, remove valuable items and lock it.
“Exterior lighting and operational CCTV help too, and if you see any suspicious behaviour as it’s happening please report it immediately on 111.”
Other information can be provided to Police online through 105.police.govt.nz, clicking ‘Update Report’ or by calling 105.
Please use the reference number 260307/3517.
Information can also be provided anonymously through crime Stoppers at 0800 555 111.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Friday 20 & Saturday 21 March, 10am - 2pm.
Come and experience the warmth of our Ryman village communities, we'd love to show you around.

Since school funding and teacher numbers are tied to how many students are in the classrooms, our local schools might be facing some "belt-tightening" in the coming years.
Our question to you: How can our communities manage a drop in school funding without losing the "soul" of our local schools in the Bay of Plenty?

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
