Thief steals pensioner's cash from his veggie stall and scarpers
Quote:
A farmer’s market produce seller says he will be feeling the pinch after a thief took off with most of his earnings in a brazen snatch-and-grab.
Quote:
The 73-year-old said he had been driving down from the Wairarapa to attend the Wellington Farmer’s Market for three years. Selling his organic produce and homemade cashew cheese, he had built up a regular customer base, and the other produce sellers at the market were like “a family”.
He said he had never experienced this kind of theft before.
“I feel [it is] an unfortunate reflection on the state of society today and the apparent freedom for people to commit crimes without fear of sanction. I hate admitting it but I am a pensioner and the loss of money definitely hurts.”

Guns and almost $500k of methamphetamine found in Christchurch drugs bust
Quote:
Two people have been arrested and nearly half a million dollars worth of drugs seized in an armed police raid in Christchurch.
Two firearms – a pistol and a rifle – and a large amount of cash – were also lifted by police during the raid.
The armed offenders squad searched a Lyndhurst Cres property in Aranui on Saturday night, where officers uncovered over a kilogram of methamphetamine and two firearms.
Detective Inspector Scott Anderson said the 1.2kg of methamphetamine had an estimated street value of $400,000 to $450,000.

Police hunt set for bail ‘absconding’ Mongols associate arrested in $5.9m Remuera mansion with firearms, warrant to be issued
Quote:
A warrant for the arrest of a 32-year-old Mongols gang associate will be issued later today for failing to turn up to a sentencing hearing, after being found in a $5.9m Remuera mansion with an assortment of high-powered firearms and ammunition.
The gang associate was due for sentencing at 10am today in Auckland District Court after being convicted of two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of a restricted magazine.
However, the court heard that the gang member’s lawyer, Bridget Lawler, did not know where her client was this morning, despite having messaged them several times.
Judge Debra Bell issued a warrant for the arrest of the gang associate that would take effect at 5pm today. Bell said she wanted to make sure the gang associate was fully aware they were due to appear in court today for sentencing before the warrant took effect.
The Mongols gang associate was found in September 2022 inside a mansion on Shore Rd in the affluent Auckland suburb of Remuera where police found an AR-15 firearm, a rifle, and a shotgun, along with various quantities of ammunition.

The victims only "offence" was to wear a red jersey...
Bumper sentence discounts for bullies using hardship excuses for bashing a defenseless man.
Yeah right.
Remember that this Labour government promoted the premise, and continues to push the narrative, that criminals are also victims - victims of society, especially the community of ugly, racist, colonial minded and prejudiced entitled pakeha. Hence criminals should be pitied and given a lot of aroha rather than punishment to reform their ways.
Did you know that there was a proposal under consideration to automatically reduce prison sentences for criminals (including substituting home detention for jail sentences) if they are Maoris before the fear of publicity caused this woke government to scrap it last year?
"It has been 2 months since the women at the counter had the gun shoved in her face. Manager Shabana Hakim & her 2 co-workers say they are traumatised & no longer feel safe in St Heliers....
5 doors down from where they were attacked by 2 men one with a gun another with a meat cleaver, - the community Police base HAD been shut.."
2 major Police bases in Ellerslie & Panmure will follow suit, plus another 27 more around the country in order to save money by the National Govt.
Would those jewellery store attacks happened if there was still a Community Police Station in Ellerslie?
This was from 2016 & the National Party who are supposed to be so tough on crime.
So going on past performance does anyone really swallow National's criticism of Labour being soft on crime.
National are prepared to say anything, even ignoring all the research, to win this election.
We know right around the world, where there's a police presence, a Community Station, there's a lower incident of street crime.
It took 20 minutes for the police to arrive at that 2016 St Heliers retail shop attack .
Prevention is a heck of a lot safer for communities than hot air about increasing penalties, which already stand at up to 14 years for aggravated burglary.
And judges already do take into account aggravating factors.

a cleaver job happened just 5 doors away from a Police base.

Free Wiki: Judge says young burglar should not stay in jail - home detention imposed
Quote:
A young man who stole $15,000 worth of clothing from a store, attacked a person with gardening pruners and smashed a windscreen has been released from jail - and put on home detention instead.
The judge who re-sentenced him says that Free Usher Dani Wiki, who was 21 at the time of his most recent offending, is a young and vulnerable man, having regard to his personal background.
High Court Justice Jonathan Eaton said care needed to be taken to reduce the chance of Wiki coming out of prison a “more hardened criminal” than before.
In May this year, Wiki was sentenced to two years and three months in prison for burglary, assault with a weapon, intentional damage, receiving, driving while disqualified, breaching intensive supervision and community work, and failing to answer bail.
Wiki’s offending occurred in Hawke’s Bay.

Retail crime: Almost 400 ram raids in six months, judge tells young offender the public have had enough
Quote:
Ram raids have climbed to an average of more than two a day, prompting an Auckland judge to say the public and the police “are fed up with it”.
Police figures released yesterday show there were at least 388 “ram-raid style events” in a six-month period to the end of May, including 99 which remained unsolved.
During the six-month period, police said there were 218 prosecutions for ram raids, while 86 young people were referred to Police Youth Services.
Last year, police recorded 516 ram raids around the country.
Just a few hours after police released the latest data, a District Court judge in West Auckland told a convicted teenage ram raider; “The public are fed up with it, the police are fed up with it … and people want tougher penalties for this type of crime.”

“He then collided with a stationary vehicle... where community were together at an event celebrating Matariki,” police said.

A young woman pushing a pram was among those who narrowly escaped tragedy when a driver fleeing police in a stolen vehicle barrelled through a residential street, crashing into a parked car as hundreds queued to pick up free hangi for Matariki celebrations in Shannon, Horowhenua, this afternoon.
The driver tried to run from the scene on Grey St but was quickly surrounded by 30 to 50 incensed people from among the crowd of about 300, some kicking and punching him before a policeman driving behind the man ran to the man’s aid, witness Richard Smith said.
“Everybody was really angry with him … he tried to run away, but there were just too many people there and they just grabbed him, and they were really angry and upset.
“It was lucky the cop ran straight in because he was getting a hiding, this young fella, because the community were not happy with what happened. He could have easily killed a lot of people.”

Police admit it’s impossible to ID offshore scammers, investigators ‘not focused’ on solving crimes
Quote:
A senior police boss says investigators have all but shelved attempts to solve international scam crimes due to complexities in identifying offshore offenders and their use of “money mules” to mask the trail of stolen cash.
Offshore scammers are estimated to be draining hundreds of millions of dollars from Kiwi victims every year, with cases surging in recent months.
Detective Inspector Chris Barry oversees Auckland City CIB investigations and the police district’s 19-man financial crime unit.
In a blunt admission, Barry said while scams were becoming more innovative and victims were suffering significant financial harm, it was nearly impossible for police to trace funds sent offshore or identify the criminal masterminds due to their remote locations and ability to hide identities online.

No job and no house insurance - burglar learns the hard way about the consequences of crime
Quote:
A burglar who stole building materials from an orchard learned that crime has consequences the hard way – it ruined his chance of getting a job and he was turned down for house insurance.
Brodie Lewis then went back to court trying to have his conviction overturned, but a judge turned him down.
The High Court at Whanganui was told that Lewis, accompanied by a female associate, drove his Toyota vehicle with a trailer through an open gate onto a commercial kiwifruit orchard on the evening of June 26, 2022, to where a shed was being built.
They took $1520 worth of building materials and drove away.
The pair were stopped by police with the stolen materials at 3.15am, but Lewis was able to bluff his way through their questions, and was allowed to go on his way.
When the goods were later reported stolen, police gained a warrant to search Lewis’ property and found the materials in his backyard.
Lewis later pleaded guilty to burglary.
The female associate was given police diversion, meaning she did not have to face charges in court, but Lewis was sentenced to five months and two weeks of home detention, after Judge Jonathan Krebs turned down his application for a discharge without conviction.
Lewis then appealed the sentence and sought a discharge without conviction in the High Court.

Sad news with a shooting at an Auckland CBD building site today. 2 members of the public shot dead, multiple injured. The gunman has been shot dead.
‘The 24-year-old gunman - who was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet - had entered the building site in lower Queen St and opened fire.’
Friends had to close their restaurant in Albert St after operating it successfully for 20 odd years. They received bugger all help from the Auckland Council & government who basically threw all the businesses affected by the CRL under the train tracks.
Heartbreaking, sickening and beyond belief that they received no help because they had been successful, built up their wealth and so are expected to bleed. No thought given to the fact that their hard work and business & wealth were being destroyed.
I watched a guy ‘working’ there just moving gravel back and forth between two piles with his little digger. Large numbers of people milling about in orange vests and hard hats. The whole thing has been an enormous boondoggle swallowing billions, why would you want to complete the project (ever) if you are one of the ones milking it for all its worth?
The Auckland gunman was on ‘home detention with an electronic bracelet’…and according to Coster, an exemption to go work at the CBD building site everyday.
Home detention: a great option that New Zealanders should have every confidence in. It’s like a jail sentence where you get to leave prison every week day for 8 or 9 hours.
Have a look on State Highway 58 between Pautahanui and The Hutt Road. There has been ongoing extensive roadworks there for the last 10 years with no let up. I drive it often and really don't know what they are doing there. But boy is it costing a hellova lot of money.
It’s the ‘neoliberalism’ (simply, lack of regulation) of the public service and government. Just a complete lack of oversight and any efficiency targets at a granular level. Ministers only know what they are told by department heads, department heads only know what they are told by managers, and on it goes. All of them sending flurries of e-mails and attending untold meetings, all of them convinced that if only they spend more money and hire more people all our problems will be solved. Thousands of puffed up Don Quixotes, endlessly tilting at windmills.

Seems fairly happy Gangland chappy with scoring a bit of Home-D for Crime doesn't he ? ;)
Obviously severely disadvantaged and on the day the Beak must have had just too many Home-D Be Good passes left in the drawer ;)
Speechless. So terribly sad that this sort of crime - actually a horrifying one, the woman woke up to find an intruder in her home - is treated as almost inconsequential. The terror this person would have felt is indescribable; fear for her life, fear for the life of her unborn child. In the event she was sexually violated by an intruder. She would have passed that trauma through to her unborn child. It’s a wonder she didn’t miscarry.
And then we read that the home invader and sex offender ‘thanked the Judge’ and crowed that he’d “cracked it”. He’s actually jubilant. No remorse. Serious criminals are laughing at our justice system and the farce that is ‘home detention’.
Cracked it indeed! Gets to go home, play video games all day, get high and dream of his next rape.
Do scum on home detention get the dole too?
Remember, the ideology of the Left is that he’s the real victim, while the middle class that gets predated on by criminal scum are routinely described as ‘wealthy’, ‘privileged’, or ‘selfish’.
There is a lot of sinister subtext in the language used by the Left, language that gives a tacit signal to low-lifes that they can attack those ‘privileged’ people who - through personal effort and the assuming of societal obligations - are living decent and purposeful lives.
In the event scumbag criminal offenders are caught, they are often treated with kid gloves & given all sorts of sentence ‘discounts’ for mainly spurious reasons.
Totally in tune and in line with Labour's pledge to reduce prison population by 25% - by increasing the number of criminals on home detention and releasing criminals early from prisons.
The fact that innocent members of the public are subject to increased incidences of violent crimes is totally ignored by Labour & the Greens.
So yesterday NZ saw a scumbag violent offender, on home detention and allowed to work, committed murder - killed 2 and injured 10 courtesy of Labour's pro-crims policies.
Can you imagine anything as ridiculous as a criminal on home detention being allowed to work? How was he monitored and who was monitoring him to make sure he went home after work and he was not interacting with other criminals, or committing crimes?

Ramraid capital crime wave by the numbers: Top cop on Waikato's crime explosion
Quote:
An “explosion” in youth offending has forced crime stats up by almost a quarter in Waikato in the last year, according to the region’s top cop.
Waikato District Commander Superintendent Bruce Bird spoke exclusively to the Waikato Times candidly saying “Waikato has had an explosion in the top end offending”
And the numbers bear him out:
Crime shot up 22% nationwide in the past 12 months, police say.
In the Waikato, the increase in crime over that year is a whisker higher, at 23%.
320 - The number of charges Waikato police have laid after dealing with 30 ramraids and 59 smash-and-grabs in the past six months.
41 – The number of people arrested in relation to the above ramraids and smash-and-grabs. Bird says Waikato arrests this year are “probably heading this year for some pretty big numbers”.
69 – Stolen vehicle crimes have increased 69% in the Waikato in the past year. That’s the biggest jump of the four crime categories Bird gave figures for.
34 – Waikato robbery figures have climbed 34% in the past year.
43 – Maybe you’ve been thinking about a steering wheel lock? Thefts from cars rose 43% in the Waikato over the past 12 months.
57 – And non-residential burglaries in the Waikato went up 57% over the same period.

Quote:
Phillipa Ngamokopuna preyed on the elderly rest home residents she was employed to care for.
She gained the trust of three 89-year-olds to access their debit cards and steal from them, all the while making them believe she was a dutiful caregiver.
Now the pensioners say they no longer feel they can trust anyone at the rest home.
Ngamokopuna had built up so much trust with one of the victims that he bought a gift to thank her for helping him with his online shopping.
The 34-year-old also stole a bank card from another victim after the elderly woman was admitted to Waikato Hospital, racking up nearly $500 in spending.
She had worked at the rest home from June 2021 but resigned once her offending came to light earlier this year.
The solo mother was in the Hamilton District Court yesterday where she applied for a discharge without conviction on five dishonesty charges.
Quote:
Counsel Joshua de Vries said his client admitted her offending was driven by greed and alcohol use, which “took her focus from where her work should have been”.
“Ms Ngamokopuna has instructed me that the charges represent a particularly shameful period of her life, not one that she wishes to repeat.”
She had since undertaken counselling for her alcohol use and was prepared to pay reparation but due to her low income as a cleaner, and child care costs, could only afford to pay each victim $10 a week.
He submitted the convictions would affect her standing in the community and affect her future employment.
Police opposed her application for discharge without conviction.
Filthy thieving scumbag trying to swindle the vulnerable elderly :)
Quote:
“You point out that you are a Cook Islander, but you do not live on the islands.
Looks like the excuses did not wash down very well :)
Quote:
“In my view, it is in the public interest that future employers know you have in the past acted dishonestly so that any future employer can make up his or her own mind about whether they should give you an opportunity.
Wonder if any of the victims will ever see the repayment of all of what she stole @ $10 pw each ? ;)
Auckland gunman and killer.
On the loose despite his recent proven propensity for violence.
Expect the ilk of Kelvin Davis and co to come out with a glib statement that 'the community has failed' this scumbag.
Yeah right!
Despite all the state largesse to the bottom feeders.
As an lndian immigrant who has been here 7 years tells me, the country is fcuked.
My Indian contact who was an AUT lecturer, is more direct. He professed that in this wretched divided and racist country, if you are Maori, you can commit any crime in Aotearoa with impunity or minimal consequences today.
Only he and his wife left here, his children are all now in Australia.

Well you’ve hit the nail on the head: if you are National voter who happens to believe - as is your right - in ‘personal responsibility’ (which the Left have somehow managed to term into a loaded term), then the subtext is that its actually you that let this gunman down. Because you live and work in the current system, obey the law, look after your family…your are ‘privileged’, ‘selfish’, ‘wealthy’ etc etc etc. You should get with the programme and get ‘progressive’ - or you’ll be demonised!
Hey, but what if you have a job, obey the system, look after your family…but your parents died in a car accident when you were 3? What if your mum killed herself when you were 15? What if you are neurodiverse? What if you suffer from chronic back pain? Because you have crosses to bear, crosses you may bear alone and in silence, shouldn’t you be a desperate criminal?
What if you are battling depression and anxiety, but still manage to get out of bed on time, have a shower, get dressed, have breakfast, get to work after battling through rush hour traffic, put in an 8 hour day at a desk, and do that 5 days a week for decades…shouldn’t you be ‘angry at the system’? Perhaps a ‘desperate criminal’? Or are you ‘privileged’, ‘selfish’, ‘wealthy’ ‘a silver spooner’?
What is you are battling cancer, are still going to work, are still looking after your family (paying bills, putting food on the table). Are you really some sort of selfish privileged mongrel?
It seems society was giving Matiu Reid every chance and more. He choked his partner half to death, and society ‘punished’ him by letting him get a job and earn money. How ‘tough’! How ‘cruel’!
They are actually killing our society mate, they are actually saying up is down & forward is reverse. If you knuckle down, buck up, pay your taxes, obey the laws, and allow a workplace to consume the bulk of your adult life you are guilt-tripped and gas lit until your head is spinning. You are the bad person. You are the selfish person. And if dare to take a risk, start a business & employ people you are an ‘evil selfish capitalist’ - doubly so if you have the temerity to vote National and ACT.
The are people out there battling horrendous difficulties every day to keep going, keep going through the mill of the rat race to try and do right by their nearest and dearest. If they happen to believe in personal responsibility they are being harangued that they are wrong, selfish, stupid. They carry on in silence, and they will go to their graves largely anonymous and unheralded. And now we will get the Ballad of Matiu Reid, a tale of woe and deprivation about a person who was treated with kid gloves by the state, who was not jailed after committing violent crimes, who was allowed to take on a job, and who shot and killed two men who came from a minority ethnic group but had pulled themselves up and were trying to do right by their families and society. It is all so warped and sick.
In order to do so, they have to get past the weight of guilt and the constant inference that they are morally wrong for doing anything other than voting for Labour (or one of Labours proxies). Imagine it: you abide by the law, look after your family, hold down a job….and you are the one who is ‘morally wrong’.
If you vote for one of the ‘good’ parties of the Left, say you vote Green - then apparently you’ll sleep the sound sleep of the righteous and just, knowing the media and state is telling you you are “saving the planet” (you aren’t). Then you wake up one day and find you actually voted for Marama Davidson to ‘give Aotearoa back to its rightful owners’, and global temperatures are still rising. “Ah well, I am the descendent of a filthy exploiting colonialist anyway, so alls well that ends well”.
You capture and express the mindset that has been foisted onto NZ people extremely well.
Its the left politicians who have done so much harm to this country with their divisive and woke doctrine and policies, who should be feeling the guilt.
Somehow, and with assistance of media as you say, they have hijacked and deflected much public thinking away from their agendas.
Wake up NZ, and tip those who rely on your apathy to work against you, out on their bums!

Head Hunters gang member with 'large' amount of meth stopped by armed police
Quote:
A patched member of the Head Hunters motorcycle gang is facing charges after illicit drugs and a firearm were recovered in connection with a vehicle of interest.
According to Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Hunkin, Counties Manukau police “became aware of a vehicle of interest travelling through the district” on Monday night.
The alleged offender, a 35-year-old male, who police say is a patched member of the Head Hunters, travelled through the Manukau area before stopping at a property in Randwick Park, Hunkin said.

Armed police and ambulances have swarmed the Sylvia Park Shopping Centre in Auckland’s Mt Wellington after reports of a fight involving at least one man armed with a knife.
Samuel Henderson told the Herald he grabbed his eight-year-old son, ducked down, and ran out of the mall when the fight erupted in the food court about 1pm.
He saw a man run towards the fight wielding a knife.
Henderson said two men at a table next to him began yelling and then started throwing chairs.
“A guy ran past with a knife in his hand,” Henderson said.

At least three Te Atatu schools, including two primary schools, have been ordered into lockdown as armed police swoop on the area near Rutherford College.
One Rutherford College student inside the locked-down school told the Herald: “This is a very scary experience for me and my class mates this is a our first time. The only thing that we have been told is that we have to be in lockdown and stay quiet.
“The teachers are super strict of students to stay under the desk. They are doing a really good job of keeping everything under control.”

Auckland man jailed after smuggling card skimming equipment
Quote:
An Auckland man has been handed down a 25-month sentence after smuggling card-skimming equipment into the country.
Rimamotu Tiavare’s plans were foiled when customs officers intercepted his package from the US. The parcel contained a car stereo that concealed two card-skimming devices.
A subsequent investigation at the 40-year-old’s home address uncovered cash, notes with card skimming instructions, and phones that had been used to search for ATM locations.
25 months - Great deterrent - Mr Beak .. How many months after "Be Good" cards played along the way ? ;)

Man accused of stealing a tiny home and crashing it metres away, charged with burglary
Quote:
A man has been charged with burglary for allegedly taking a tiny home from an empty lot and driving it across the road – before the trailer it was on collapsed - leaving it stranded in the middle of a popular Auckland road in rush hour.
The incident happened on July 17 and brought Auckland traffic to a standstill in Glen Eden.
Police have now confirmed that a 57-year-old man has been charged with burglary and careless driving.
Poor Crim probably thinks Labour failed him & therefore needs a handful of wet bus tickets from the beak

Released prisoner hits Rebel Sport three times, takes cars, burgles and splashes on stolen credit cards
Quote:
A woman on a 7-month crime spree came face-to-face with a home owner’s daughter after jumping out the window to avoid being caught.
Still holding the stolen goods, she told the girl, “Sorry, it’s for me and my boyfriend” before running off down the street.
The incident was just one out of 25 that resulted in Roma Lady Te Aho being jailed for three years - a sentence she’s now successfully appealed.
Quote:
But none of these were considered her most serious offence when Te Aho ended up in the Napier District Court after pleading guilty to 25 charges, plus a further shoplifting charge from 2021.
udge Collins jailed Te Aho for three years for the raft of offending, which also involved other shoplifting incidents and unlawfully entering or taking cars – once by lifting a staff member’s keys from behind the counter of a restaurant.
However, Te Aho has now managed to get four months taken off that prison sentence by appealing to the High Court over the calculations Judge Collins used in sentencing her.
Quote:
At the age of 27, she had a criminal record which ran for 17 pages, mostly for dishonesty offences - shoplifting and theft, burglary and using a document for pecuniary advantage.
She had committed more than 100 crimes while on bail for other offences, and when she offended last year, was on release conditions after being freed from prison in March 2022.
Quote:
In first sentencing Te Aho, Judge Collins made no order for reparations and remitted her outstanding fines of $15,273 because she would not have been able to pay them.
Let the scum out & look what happens.. this thing should be put on hard labour to repay all her victims and pay for her keep; then only released on a hefty good behavour & employment bond ;)
The list of lame excuses must run almost as long as it's list of convictions & this is what the taxpayer is having to support ..

And you might wonder whether this is an isolated case? It's not, it's happening everywhere. It's because crime does pay under this government, they can literally get away with anything.
You must know that for a crim to get to the high court, their legal fees along that journey are being paid by you, the taxpayer, and this is the leniency they can expect! A wet bus ticket after 100's of crimes and the judge waiving recompense because 'she can't pay for it'.
Well get a job you useless piece of ____ and pay those people back what you stole from them, after you've done time in prison. Once upon a time, when my beloved immaculate original MKIII Zephyr was stolen, and torched, by a couple of dumb fecking useless teenagers, they got convictions and had to pay recompense, to me, for decades, albeit at some paltry amount weekly. They still had to pay me back though. And they did.
What has become of our justice system that a low-life rip off merchant gets her recompense wiped and avoids any serious consequences? It just promotes ongoing misbehaviour as there is no consequence for her.
And, she is not the only one, oh no, not by a long shot. These crims know that there is no consequence and they can be recidivist offenders even under court imposed constraints (like bail, parole etc), and nothing, zero, nada, ever comes from it.
Appalling. This government has truely screwed the pooch with law and order. And it's us, the law abiding who are getting shafted as these people steal our stuff and screw the system to get leniency. Bloody beggars belief really.
Yes, it is frustratingly unbelievable.
I've stated before l witnessed Judge Bridget Macintosh offer to wipe @ $6500 of fines for a lowlife, then say "is that ok"? as if the lowlife had a right to say, nah, give me a better deal, and a bucket of KFC!

Five youths aged 13-15 armed with firearms and axe rob north Waikato liquor store
Quote:
Five young teens are set to appear in court after raiding a Waikato liquor store armed with a pistol, shotgun and axe.
Police say the group aged between 13 and 15 years was involved in a police chase on State Highway 1 and tracked from the air and by dogs to a property some 11km away after stealing alcohol from a Pōkeno bottle shop.
Counties Manukau South Area Commander Inspector Joe Hunter said the group of masked robbers were carrying a number of weapons including a pistol, shotgun and an axe when they entered the Market Rd store.
He said police responded to the robbery after 6pm but the offenders had already fled in a nearby vehicle.
“The five masked offenders initially fled in a vehicle which they abandoned nearby.
“As our staff arrived into the area, they sited another vehicle driving at high speed and continuing south on State Highway One.”
How is Labour's Go Gentle Ginny approach going to fix these little scum ? ;)
Are you a recent immigrant as you seem to have little understanding of how anything works ?
In NZ we don't allow Ministers of the Crown to have any influence on individual cases hence NZ's being one of the least corrupt countries in the world.
The police have caught, arrested, charged & brought before the Courts the 5 offenders.
As a rule they don't bash or recklessly shoot or knee & suffocate random potentially innocent/terrified/suspicious victims here like we see so often in some US states.
You sound keen for our Minister of Police to be like some unaccountable small town Southern County Sheriff, meting out justice as he/she sees fit!
It's over to the Courts now to deal with the offenders & sentencing parameters are set by Parliament & none have been changed, they are exactly the same now as under the previous National govt.
Ginny Anderson has zero say in how these offenders are dealt with.
Watching Ginny Andersen, new minister of justice, on TV3 on Saturday - so Ardern. Anything but answer the questions.
Good to see that she is not allowed to get away from her clueless and deflective answers by Rebecca Wright.
Asked about rank & file police expressing frustrations with the woke and ineffective ‘policing by consent’, she tried first not to answer, then she denied that there’s such an issue.
So as far as Hipkins and this government is concerned, nothing is going to change - woke policing is here to stay with all the associated breakdown in law and order under this clueless and racist government.
White middle class NZers need to vote in a new government to being sanity and common sense back to policing - give support to the frustrated rank and file police ranks to effectively enforce the law.
Roll on October 2023.

A 39-year-old south Auckland woman is facing a total of 24 charges of shoplifting from a grocery store as well as trespassing, she will appear in the Pukekohe District Court on September 26.
Police also apprehended a 28-year-old woman for attempting to leave a supermarket with a trolley full of groceries without paying on July 25. She will appear in the Papakura District Court on August 3.

This is really unfortunate & important, the phrase 'Policing by Consent' has absolutely nothing to do with consent of offenders & nether is it 'Woke'.
It's been deliberately & regrettably successfully conflated by those working to destroy trust in govt & our institutions, to mean something completely different from what it actually means, & now being thrown about by those who don't know better.
'Policing by Consent' refers to the Peelian principals, designed by Sir Robert Peel to define an ethical police force.
"The legitimacy of Policing in the eyes of the public is based on support derived from transparency about their powers, their integrity in exercising those powers & their accountability for doing so."
Transparency, Integrity & Accountability, thats what Policing by Consent is !

Remuera gun case: Young Mongols gang associate Brandon Tangi has AK-47 sentence reduced
Quote:
An imprisoned Mongols gang associate who was caught in a car park of an upscale Auckland neighbourhood with a loaded AK-47-style semi-automatic rifle - capable of discharging 40 rounds “within a matter of seconds” - has had his sentence reduced on appeal.
But although Brandon Vincent Tangi’s new sentence is now less than two years - the point at which custodial terms are often substituted with home detention - the appeal judge made it clear an ankle monitor is not in the 22-year-old’s immediate future.
“A sentencing such as this must draw a line in the sand regarding the carriage of loaded semi-automatic weapons in public, in circumstances which suggest a willingness to use them,” Justice Andrew Becroft wrote in an 18-page decision released to the Herald today.
Labour's Gun Register & Crack down looks just the Bee's Knees & working well ;)
Quote:
Justice Becroft’s decision was issued to lawyers on Friday afternoon, one day after patched Head Hunters member Mikaere Puata-Chaney was sentenced in the same courthouse for the double-murder of his ex-girlfriend and her father - a shooting that occurred while he was supposed to be at home on electronically monitored bail, awaiting trial for the high-profile Sofitel hotel shooting.
The decision also came less than 10 days after the fatal downtown Auckland construction site shooting in which three people, including gunman Matu Reid, were killed. The 24-year-old had been serving a sentence of home detention for kicking and strangling a woman, leaving her with a broken bone in her neck, when he embarked on the rampage that caused international headlines.

Ram raiders who smashed through the entrance of a Rotorua shopping centre drove a vehicle about 60m into the mall before targeting four stores inside.
The ram-raid happened early on Monday. Yesterday, black tyre marks could be seen on the floor where the ram-raiders drove the vehicle through the southern entrance, facing Victoria St, to one of the stores inside.

Patel said it showed retailers were not protected from ram raids if they were located in a mall.

Rotorua ram raid: Chocolates, gum and an empty till stolen from Ngongotaha Books, Lotto & Postshop
Quote:
Chocolate, gum and an empty till were stolen in a Rotorua ram raid that left a “massive mess” after five thieves couldn’t get into the cigarette cabinet.
Police were called to a business in Ngongotahā Rd at 1.11am after a vehicle was used to enter the building, a spokesman said.
He said nothing was taken. Police had found both vehicles used in the attempted burglary, but were still searching for the offenders.
Reneel Signh, the son of the owner of Ngongotaha Books, Lotto & Postshop, said there was “a massive mess” when he arrived at the shop this morning, including “quite a lot of damage” to the entrance.
He said the offenders drove a car into the building and through the windows before what appeared to be five people jumped out, based on CCTV footage.
“They tried to get into the cigarettes, couldn’t do it, and then they started running around trying to find anything of value,” he said.
Singh said the offenders “just pushed around shelves and smashed things up” making a “massive mess” before taking off with an empty till, some chocolate bars and gum.

This infuriates me, this area has always been a trouble hot spot with bars & Strip Clubs going way back & we can thank National for closing down the Police Community Station they had in Fort St to save money.
It's well researched, having a police presence deters crime & this would be a much safer area.
National closed down around 30 Community Police Stations & Kiosks, - they talk the big talk on crime but never walk the talk.
The Labour govt should have re-established them but perhaps once gone the cost of re-establishing them prohibitive.

Robber wreaks havoc in Whakatāne jewellery store, smashes glass cabinets and steals before fleeing in stolen car
Quote:
Police are seeking the public’s help after a man wreaked havoc in a Whakatāne store, stole jewellery and fled in a stolen car.
About 4.40pm on Friday, a man entered a store on The Strand and began shouting at staff members and smashing glass cabinets.
You have defeated your own argument.
If the area was always a trouble spot, then having a Police station there was making no difference was it.
You and others believe high
crime in NZ is due to poverty and poor housing.
If that's true, how about closing ALL the Police stations, converting them to flash apartments for crims and gangsters, sack ALL the cops and distribute their salaries to the crooks?
Problem solved?
Win/Win?
Maybe that's what former minister of Justice Kiri was thinking in Wellington the other night, when instead of trying on the do you know who I am line, she just come clean with the Kelvin Davis line, let the crims go, and all will be sweet, and l will be sacking you guys in the morning!
The proposal of rationalising and closing down police community stations went back as far as when George Hawkins was Police Minister (Clark's government) - fact.
So you are writing garbage as usual to blame gun violence on Queen St on the closure of duplicate stations - how come they did not happen before and they are now happening under this government?
Can you handle the truth?
The truth is that this clueless and useless government is
soft on crime,
initiated woke policing by consent,
reduce prison numbers by early release of numerous criminals from prison
and
told NZers that criminals are 'victims' of the very crimes they commit!
Think about the recent Queen St double killings - a violent criminal wandering about, allowed to work & mingle outside while under home detention and was able to get a gun to kill & injured many.
Where were the police who are there to make NZers safe as there are more of them (refer Ginny Andersen)?
https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...pg?format=500w
Pleased to hear yesterday afternoon on ZB, Auckland City Councillor Viv Beck now saying (National ) should never have closed down the Community Police Station in Fort St, and wants it re-established there.
At the moment the nearest Police Station is right across the city at the bottom of St Mary's Bay.
Rationally, areas of any city mixing Nightclubs, Strip Clubs, & Bars with late night alcohol & party drugs are always going to be potential trouble spots & a continual Police presence makes everyone safer.
Getty & Balance, I see you disagree, listen to your opinions but have to strongly disagree.
Nearly 6 years in government and all that Labour and you can do is moan about the previous governments and take zero responsibility for all the carnage happening out there on multiple fronts because of Labour’s failed & disastrous policies.
This is the sort of government you want to run NZ for another 3 years?
And always remember who are really behind the divisive and racist policies of this government - the real power. The Maori cabal hiding in the shadows - just waiting to unleash their hatred and odium on all NZers if they are allowed to post October.
What l really want to know Blue Skies, or anyone else, is that when Kainga Ora has demolished most of their (our) sub 60 year old stock, and replaced with shiny new dwellings with or without long grass, and yet the crime rate stays the same, or escalates, what then will be the next blame?
If by definition the NZ crime rate is due to poverty and bad housing, then much of Asia and the Pacific must be rife with crime!
But are they???
