‘Who’s going to stop them’:
•From page 1
Said Nord: “Where we have
been made aware of it, we have
worked with the dairy to support
them.
“We worked with them to help
identify who the students might
have been.”
Nord said after the pupils have
been identified, they are not punished
by the school. The school
leaves any disciplinary action to
police.
“It concerns us that there are
students out there in our uniforms
shoplifting . . . what they
do outside of school is out of our
control.”
While the school doesn’t have
any specific programmes focused
on theft or shoplifting, Nord said
they are covered in the school
values.
“We have strong values as far
as our school vision and values
go. Within that sits respect and
around that is the conversations
of what does that looks like.”
The police data shows crime is
up 42 per cent across the district.
From February 2022 to March
this year, there were 657 more
crimes committed than in the
previous 12 months.
The Saparamadus say it’s time
people realised there is a crime
problem in the district and
started talking about it, rather
than just ignoring it.
“We have to talk about – if we
don’t who’s going to stop them,”
Shehan said.
They have signs throughout
the store warning people if they
are caught stealing, they will be
banned.
Since opening two years ago,
the dairy has been ram-raided
three times. After the most
recent incident in August, the
Government helped pay for extra
security measures, including fog
cannons and bollards.
On May 30, a group tried to
break into the store but could not
get through the security doors
and bars. They only managed to
smash the glass.
Shehan said, while the extra
security was appreciated, he
thought the money should have
been spent on preventing crime
in the first place.
“It is just a band-aid and
doesn’t solve the problem. The
MESSAGE:
This youth
allegedly
told Shamina
Saparamadu
he was going
to ram-raid
the dairy
after being
caught
shoplifting.

money should be spent on rehabilitation.”
The Saparamadus said they
really enjoy living in the community,
and the people stealing only
make up a very small percentage
of those who visit the store.
“We try to support our community
as much as we can,”
Shehan said.
They also want to see more
police patrolling the area. “We
hardly see the local police. If
they did patrol – an hourly patrol
or something overnight – that
would be good.”
Since May 1, one officer is
based at the Lincoln police station
regularly, down from three
following the introduction of the
new 24-hour service model based
out of the Rolleston station.
Selwyn Senior Sergeant Rachel
Walker did not respond to questions
relating to the increase in
crime and police resourcing.
