🚨

Toxic slugs have been spotted in Wellington waters, and no it's not your ex! 🙅

Greater Wellington have confirmed two separate sightings of the native grey side-gilled sea slug or Pleurobranchaea maculate in Shark Bay, Miramar.

These sea slugs contain the toxic substance tetrodotoxin which can be poisonous to dogs and children. Please make sure that they do not touch or handle them on the beach or in the water.

While they might look a bit funky, these slugs are a common native creature and should be left to go about their business.

If you believe someone has come into contact with a sea slug and they start to feel unwell, call 111 immediately.

If you believe your dog has licked or eaten a sea slug, contact your vet immediately.

Please report any sightings, particularly in off-leash dog exercise areas through our online webform: wellington.govt.nz/Report-a-problem

Keep your beasties safe from these beasties!

🕵️ SEEKING INFORMATION 🕵️

Does anyone know this woman?
Or this car? We believe the plates are doctored. That L looks dodgy!!

On Saturday she and her female friend visited our Lower Hutt and Lyall Bay stores and brazenly stole a total of 4 bags of Royal Canin dog food worth $822.

Not before verbally abusing our young staff and pushing a manager into the wall when she tried to stop them leaving.

After 17 years in business, unfortunately brazen theft has become such a problem for us lately that for the first time we have decided to post up the offenders on our social media to try and get information from the public about their identity.

Business is really tough at the moment and the losses incurred from this type of crime have a huge impact, so any information people can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Police reports have been filed and we appreciate the quick response from the police in Lyall Bay when we called.
