The matter was discussed at a Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board meeting, which included informing residents on how to keep themselves and their homes safe via social media. One resident feared for her family’s safety after thieves broke into their home while they were sleeping, stealing tools. As a result, the Christchurch South Community Patrol leapt into action as stated in a post made by a patrol spokesperson.
