If you are thinking of drink driving or shoplifting (or both) then have another think about things. Nationally Police are cracking down on both of these crimes over the Christmas/New Year holiday season

A surprising amount of drink drivers were caught over the weekend, here in this chat with community copy Brett, there is a reminder to have a SOBER designated driver. If you saw an upturned kayak that mystery is solved thanks to an early morning dip by the local police (spoiler alert it wasn't the canoe we have all been looking out for). Car thefts on the rise with what is believed to be young joy riders again and the christmas spirit - keep it light people!

There is an increase in car break-ins especially targeting Tradie vehicles, all around Kapiti. Mostly at night in Raumati and Waikanae Beach areas. If you see anything suspicious call the police and they will advise if they can get there. You won't be wasting their time - they want to catch who is responsible. Also timely reminders about drink driving and how it won't be tolerated.
