## Resource

A Christchurch plumbing business is reeling after being hit by three brutal break-ins in just one week, with losses topping $60,000 and their livelihood crumbling under the weight of theft, damaged vehicles, and a police response so slow and inadequate it’s left them feeling abandoned. After reporting each incident — including tracking down stolen credit card use — they’re still waiting for forensic exams on their vehicles, which have sat exposed to the elements. When officers finally arrived, they couldn’t even conduct basic investigations. The owners, who employ six people, are emotionally drained and financially crippled, questioning why they’re being targeted — especially when they have no criminal record — while the system they rely on for help seems to be failing them completely.
