In the last two weeks in the Raglan area we have had three family harm reports, three threats and intimidation reports and a couple of days ago we had two drink driving incidents with one failing to remain.
Now that the weather has turned to spring and Raglan is getting busier, particularly on the weekends, we might see an increase in alcohol and driving offences.
Police are committed to patrolling and stopping vehicles for breath testing to hold persons accountable if they’re drinking and driving.
Please plan if you are having a night out and set yourself up with a sober driver. Alternatively use courtesy vans if they are available. Let’s all make a commitment together, in keeping Raglan Community as safe as possible.
We are pleased to see a reduction in dishonesty offending. We hope everyone continuous to lock up their property (houses, sheds, garages, vehicles, and other items). We thank you for being diligent.
Water activities have increased with the spring season. Be aware of the conditions when you head out and keep yourself safe.
This is also the time of year when we start to receive a lot more lost and found property. If you have lost something, feel free to pop in to check if it’s been handed in, and if not handed in, please report lost property by either calling 105 or go online and report to 105.police.govt.nz
Found property will need to be handed in to Police in person. Please do not leave it on our doorstep, rather contact us via the phone button outside the front door to the station. If Police are unavailable at that time, we can always come by yours to pick it up, unless you live out of town.
One thing we have noticed is, that Raglan Community pulls together and helps each other out. We would like to encourage anyone out there, keen on Neighbourhood Support, to contact Kathy Gilbert, who is Raglan Co-Ordinator for Neighbourhood Support. Contact details kathyg@xtra.co.nz
Some of the reasons you might chose to join Neighbourhood Support: Community Spirit, Security, Pro-active Prevention, Protection, Information, Education, Support, Reduce Isolation.
Have a safe week ahead.
Thank you from the Raglan Team
Linda, Raewyn, and Andrew.
