We would like to turn the attention to the increase of reported fraudulent incidents. A lot of people are targeted over the phone to share private and confidential details.
This unfortunately is often happening to our elderly in the community who are the most vulnerable. Please talk to your friends and family, remind them not to give out any private information over the phone. Your bank for instance would never call to ask you to verify bank account details. There are a variety of scams to watch out for.
Here is the link to Net Safe that can assist with more information to keep you from being scammed:

Easter Weekend came and went without too much fuss. We are pleased to report the weather was great for the most part, the town was buzzing with visitors and not too much to report back on.
Reminder for Non-emergency reporting – to call 105 or online on https://www.police.govt.nz/use-105
For emergency if it’s happening now – call 111
Be safe and be kind!
