A "brazen" theft is being reported in Papamoa.
A member of the public has contacted SunLive to report the theft.
The reader says there is a charity start of season Halloween party on at the surf club now. It was a gold coin donation for kids.
"About 20 mins ago, a car drove up and youths got out, snatched the money takings from the junior surf clubbers and drove off."
Police were called to the scene and are investigating the matter.
A police spokesperson confirms they have received a report of theft on Papamoa Beach Road.
"It looks like some cash was taken.
"Enquiries are ongoing to locate those responsible."
People with information about the theft can contact their nearest police station or report information to the police's 105 non-emergency line.

... of the moral bankruptcy of some of our youth. I believe the parents AND the youths should be liable and reparations for victims should be the first priority. Where parents claim their kids are out of control, then the kids should be removed to a remedial institution (Boot camp?) while the parents undergo compulsory training and counselling. Only when the Court is satisfied that required actions (including reparations to victims) have been completed, can the family be reunited. Repeated offending should incur stronger remedial actions, not excluding possible jail of parents. If you don't want your kids and don't care about them, then don't have them. If you do care about your kids then start taking responsibility for them and showing them proper norms and behaviour. Be a PARENT! If you feel at a loss and need help, ask for it.
