Candidate walks in on dairy robbery

Newshub reports:

National’s candidate for Remutaka was shocked after walking in on an attempted robbery at a local dairy while handing out law and order pamphlets. 

Last Thursday at about 3pm, Remutaka candidate Emma Chatterton was walking the streets of her electorate, delivering law and order pamphlets to local businesses ahead of a public meeting on the matter.

Chatterton walked into a local dairy, which she didn’t want to identify, to deliver a pamphlet and says she “was not expecting to walk in and see something unfolding in front of me”.

She said three staff members were faced with a man covered in mud across his trousers and dry blood on his face and shoulder. She claims the man was demanding staff hand over alcohol and tobacco. 

My first reaction was that the odds of a candidate handing out law and order pamphlets walking into a dairy during an attempted robbery must be miniscule.

My second reaction was that actually the odds of it happening are probably pretty good.
