- Officers located a man with severe injuries.
- Police immediately provided first aid before paramedics transported him to hospital, where he underwent surgery.

At approximately 6am, Police received information about a man hiding at a property on Mayfair Avenue, not far from where the incident occurred.
- The man was located and arrested without further incident.
- He has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and has been remanded in custody.

Police are now seeking CCTV footage from residents in the surrounding area that may have captured information between the time of the incident and his arrest.

Residents are asked to carefully check the time settings on their cameras, including any daylight‑savings adjustments, to ensure footage covers the relevant period.

Police are also asking local residents to check their properties for any items that may have been discarded by the alleged offender.

Anyone with information is asked to make a report at 105.police.govt.nz, clicking ‘Update Report’, or by calling 105.
Please use reference number 260207/3403.
Alternatively, information can also be shared anonymously through Crime Stoppers, by calling 0800 555 111.

Councillor says ‘we have all f....d up’ in protecting the Waikato River

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Mangakino’s sole elected official says agencies tasked to protect the Waikato River from algal blooms need to admit “we have all f****d up” and save the river before “it turns into something from the third world”.

Mangakino’s sole elected official says agencies tasked to protect the Waikato River from algal blooms need to admit “we have all f****d up” and save the river before “it turns into something from the third world”.

Last week, the Waikato Times reported on concerns about the river’s state after multiple algal blooms had seen warnings posted at all of the river’s hydro lakes this summer.

'Invisible boy' Malachi was failed again and again until his brutal death

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The torture and murder of 5-year-old Malachi Subecz is a “national disgrace” but changes made in the wake of his death will not prevent further killings in the future.

The torture and murder of 5-year-old Malachi Subecz is a “national disgrace” but changes made in the wake of his death will not prevent further killings in the future.

The damning view of Coroner Janet Anderson is revealed in a long-awaited 132-page report into one of New Zealand’s most shocking child-killings - the 2021 death of Malachi at the hands of his ‘caregiver’, Michaela Barriball.

Waitematā Police is seeking information about a fire at a Rānui house in the early hours of the morning.

Emergency services attended Vino Cina Heights after midnight, with the roof fully alight.
A scene examination was completed today at the address alongside a fire investigator.

“We believe this fire has been caused by a flare, which is commonly used by boaties and one that launches a projectile,” acting Detective Inspector Megan Goldie, Waitematā CIB says. “Based on enquiries so far it appears this is an accidental fire as a result of reckless actions.”

It’s by good fortune only that Police are not dealing with fatalities. “The house is completely uninhabitable and has been extensively damaged.”

Acting Detective Inspector Goldie says Police is seeking information about two people seen running away from the area. “As a result of an area canvass this morning, residents have reported seeing two people running away after a loud bang was heard.”
A short time later the fire began.

Acting Detective Inspector Goldie says: “If you have any information, we need to hear from you.
“I would also call on those people who are involved to do the right thing and own up to what has happened.”

Anyone with further information to assist us should contact 105 using the reference number 260211/6037.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.

Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.


Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
