Yesterday my story was published about Dargaville residents struggling with the spike in crime and lack of police presence, likening the area to the 'Wild West'.
Today the Minister of Police revealed he will head to the town on Friday to hear their concerns directly.
I am going to Dargaville on Friday 4 Oct to hear from the community about the recent spate of crime and provide reassurance.
I will be holding a public meeting with Grant McCallum at 7pm, at the Lighthouse Function Centre, 32 Mt Wesley Coast Road, Harding Park.
