Wednesday afternoon in Otara. At a small block of shops in a suburban back street, a couple of men haul cases of beer out of a car and into a liquor store crammed with wall to wall beer, spirits and pre mixes.
Inside Sergeant Jonathan Milne tackles store owner Jack Kalkat about selling alcohol the week before to two young men on a 24 hour drinking spree. Milne saw them leave the shop, stagger drunkenly down the street past school children and rip off a street sign.
Kalkat insists it can't have been his staff. Maybe the boys got the alcohol somewhere else, he suggests.
No, says Milne firmly, they bought it here. He mentions the importance of breaches when the store's liquor licence comes up for review, chats briefly with the staff and leaves.
So why is the head of the local neighbourhood policing team, who describes his patch as "probably the toughest area of policing in New Zealand", putting so much effort into a bottle store? Because, says Milne, it's their job to hermes gold bracelet replica attack the causes of crime and both police and the community are sick of the damage the Everitt Rd liquor store causes.
"We would see a mum pushing a pram we've got photos of them going in and buying boxes during the day and going out."
One Thursday night he watched a van unload boxes of bourbon and cola, fake hermes H bracelet black filling the store to the ceiling.
"I remember being pretty passionate and saying, 'You guys are disgraceful. You're a negative influence on this area'."Related ContentThin blue line gets thicker in toughest crime areas Garth George: Brighter future for law and order Truant's mum says hermes bracelet imitation ministry action 'sucks'
Kalkat told the Weekend Herald his staff did their best to stop breaches, including underage drinking. "But sometimes [the kids] send someone else in. You can't stop that."
Milne doesn't agree. He says his team found a shed about 100m away from the store with 14 teenagers playing truant and drinking inside.
They recovered some bottles of pre mixed spirits in a school bag and tracked down the boy who stole them but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
"What our staff saw was another 20 empty boxes in that shed. So this was a bigger picture we needed to [look at] and it all came from that liquor store."
Milne is a stocky, ginger haired 46 year old with a passion for his job. A former amateur boxer, he grew up in the gyms of Mangere in the era of Jimmy "Thunder" Peau and once ran an out of town adventure programme for South Auckland kids.
He spent four years as a frontline sergeant in Otara and ran youth and community services in the suburb. His wife is part Maori but he admits that doesn't give him much street cred in an overwhelmingly Pacific area, compared with his Samoan colleagues Junior Te'o, Silao Nansen and Papa Talosaga (who has his own show on Samoan radio).
Milne and his team of six constables work in the so called Otara triangle, which lies south of the shopping centre, bounded by the Southern Motorway, East Tamaki Rd and Preston Rd.
To the outsider, it looks like hermes mens bracelet replica an ordinary collection of single and double storey state houses from the 1960s, with more than the usual number of schools, churches and bottle stores. A line of pylons runs through the middle alongside Bairds Rd, Otara's main drag.
