McDonald's staff at two Waikato restaurants were forced to hide in safe rooms and bathrooms after robbers struck on Friday. McDonald's on Queen St in Cambridge was the first to be robbed by several offenders at 3.55am.

A short time later what's believed to be the same assailants again smashed their way into the McDonald's restaurant on Horsham Downs Rd in Rototuna. It appears several vehicle loads of offenders were involved in the incident.

Anyone with information which may be of use to police in these investigations to contact Hamilton police on 07 858 6200. Police are at the robbery scenes this morning and scene examinations are underway. Alternatively, people can call Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111. Read more here.

Yesterday I had to sadly say goodbye to my lawn mowing lady Sharon, other commitments forced her to leave after 2 years.
So now I need a new person.
Lawns mowed generally every 2-3 weeks in late spring, summer and early autumn but every 3-4 weeks rest of year.
Clippings don't need to be taken away.
Reasonable cost please. Sharon received $15 for each mow.
Must be reliable, friendly, and trustworthy.
Extra money if also able to tend to front garden and back concrete area every so often when necessary ie pull out weeds etc.
Next mow due late September.
Please contact me if interested.
Many thanks.
Karen
PS I'm in Shannon place.
