Yesterday, a robbery took place at Ambrsariya Restaurant, where the offenders broke in and stole the safe.

A man walked straight into our store, frightened the sales lady, and took all the money from the till.

⚠️ Please beware of this man.

Hi everyone, Sat Sri Akal / Namaste,

Thank you all for your support and concern—it truly means a lot to us.

I’m pleased to share that, under significant pressure from AIRA and the POAT team, NZ Police have apprehended the 60-year-old individual responsible for writing the hateful message “Kill all Indians” outside Central School. He is being presented in court today.

In response to this serious incident, we are organising an important meeting with respected community associations, local MPs, and board members.

🗓 Date: Tomorrow
⏰ Time: 12:00 PM
📍 Venue: Diversity Centre, Tui Road, Papatoetoe

I sincerely urge everyone to attend in large numbers. Your presence and unity are vital as we stand together against hate and strengthen our community.

Thank you once again for your continued support.
