Speaker 2: last week that we woke up to the news of

Speaker 2: that crime spree in Palmerston. It included an unlawful entry

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: at the shops in Rosebury, Hungry Jack's, and then celebrations

Speaker 2: Thieves allegedly smashed through the front door in a car,

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,919

Speaker 2: now joining me on the line to let us know

13

Speaker 2: how things are going now following on from that terrible

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: situation and devastating well dammage, I think you'd have to say,

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: zacholee IgA and Celebrations owner Shelley Lay, Good morning, Shelley.

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: Morning, Katie. How are you today?

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 4: Very well? How are you going a little.

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: Bit better than that last week? Hope I won't cry

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 3: in the show today.

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: No, Honestly, it touched such a nerve with so many

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: people because we all just felt for you. You know,

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: we know that you and your husband work incredibly hard

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: out there running the business, Shelley, and it was just

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it was devastating damage.

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sure was. And it took that whole day

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: and the best part of the next morning to even

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: get the shop ready to be able to trade again

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: due to the glass that was just throughout the whole shop.

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: I think the floor was mopped twenty two times just

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 3: to try and get the stickiness of the alcohol off

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: the floor because we were just squeaking every time we

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 3: walked on it. So look, we had a massive effort

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: from our amazing stuff. But then we're able to get

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: open again at ten am the following morning, which was

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: a testament to their amazing work ethic here the day

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: before and that morning.

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds gosh, but Shelley, I know that you

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: had those huge glass windows.

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 4: How did you go getting all that replaced? Yeah, so that's.

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: Still not replaced. However, we've got bored there at the

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: moment that they Pete's glass came out and did that

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: that day, so that was at least secure to some extent. Yeah,

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: and the quotes have come in on that and now

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: we're just waiting for that to be made so that

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: can be replaced and.

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: Is it going to be an expensive process?

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: Just the just the glass was nearly nine thousand dollars.

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 4: Oh goodness me. And then what about it?

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: I mean, when you talk about everything else, I'm assuming

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: it's a it's a phenomenal amount.

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: Phenomenal the you said the damage of the stock. The

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: floor has holes in it from where the car drove

54
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: the grass glass into it. There's alcohols beneath the underneath

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: the flooring now that we can't get out. So I mean,

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: it's just it's massive. But you know what, Katie, we

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: were so upset last week, and it wasn't until we

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: actually read in the news and saw on the TV

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: that we were kind of the lucky ones because there

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: was that poor lady who had her home invaded or

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: she was in there when she when she was robbed

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: to take her keys to use her car as the

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: vehicle to drive through. And we thought, we've kind of

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 3: put into perspective and thought her home has been her

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: safe place has been invaded, you know, and we really

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: felt for her. In the end. You know, our things

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: will be replaced and we will go on, but she's

68
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: got to sleep at night. And that really made us

69
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: sort of realize that there's always someone that's worth off.

70
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: Well an eight and a half months pregnant, she was.

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: You know, it was so devastating for her. And I

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: understand that they ended up recovering that car, but yeah,

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: it's true, and I think that it really sort of

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: impacts or it really sort of highlights.

75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: The impact that you know that this senseless crime.

76
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: Has, Oh, totally. And she did get her car back, actually,

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: and I phoned her that following day and said, look,

78
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: I know you don't have a car. You're not going

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: to be able to get any groceries. You've got a

80
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 3: baby on the way. Let me come and pick you up,

81
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: get all the groceries that you need, well drop you

82
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: back home so you don't have to leave your house.

83
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 3: And she said, my car's just been I couldn't believe it.

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: Like she got it back and she ended up driving

85
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: it down here. So we all came out and had

86
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: a look at this vehicle that was of the weapon

87
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: of Joyce, that was only here virtually twenty four hours earlier,

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: creating all that destruction, and here we were looking at

89
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: this car. Was really a surreal experience. But yeah, if

90
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 3: anything was connect did with Laura now and chatted about

91
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: our experiences and what we've all been through, and that

92
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: was that was really nice actually to connect with her

93
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: after such a terrible circumstance.

94
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh absolutely.

95
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: And you know, I always think that in these really

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: crappy situations you do see the wonderful community shine through,

97
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: and Reef, we've really seen that, you know, from speaking

98
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: with you and also speaking with Laura, and the reaction

99
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 2: from the community following on from this terrible situation is

100
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: that the community has just had so much support for

101
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: you all.

102
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh, it's flown us away. And if I can say

103
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: thank you to those who turned up unannounced with gloves

104
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: on ready to start listing glass into the skips, in

105
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: the phone calls, the text messages, we are just so

106
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: grateful for everybody who offered their help and who came

107
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: down and to see how we were going. And that

108
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: was amazing that that really really helped us get through.

109
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: I bet it did, Shelley.

110
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: Any would you know, as I understood it, the police

111
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: had apprehended somebody, But has there been much of an

112
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: update as far as you've been told.

113
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 3: What I'm aware of is that one fifteen year old

114
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: has been charged that is out on bail now, So

115
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: that's the only update that I have got at the moment.

116
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: How does that sort of make you feel? I mean,

117
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: how do you feel about that?

118
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: Look, I think the police's hands are tied with with

119
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: what the law states that they can do and can't do,

120
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: so I'm probably feeling a bit frustrated that these people

121
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: can be walking free again and can potentially do it again.

122
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if the law is strong enough to

123
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: prevent people from doing these things again. And I don't

124
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: know if you're saw it, well, you probably did see

125
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: in the news there was a group of views on

126
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: Friday night involved in a car chase around Palmerston and

127
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: they seem to be quite young from the media reports too.

128
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: So it seems like there's a lot of young people

129
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: who are out and about and choosing to do the

130
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: wrong thing. So if there's nothing to stop them, well,

131
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: if they enjoy this thing, well they might continue to

132
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: choose to do the wrong thing. You know, I don't

133
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: know what to have all the answers, but yeah, I

134
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: just I don't know.

135
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree, you know, I think we're in

136
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: a situation where the community is certainly fed up with

137
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: with you know, young people who are breaking the law,

138
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: and you know, like you say, we don't all have

139
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: all the answers, but there's got to be some change

140
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: in this space. And I guess only time will tell

141
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: if those legislative changes that went through last week will

142
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: make any kind of difference. Shelley, we are going to

143
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: have to wrap up. Thank you so very much for

144
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: having a talk with us today.

145
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me, Katie, and once again, thank you

146
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: to all of those who have supported us through this time.

147
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: We've really appreciated it.

148
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no worries at all. I'm so glad to hear

149
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: that everything's back on track. And as I said, I

150
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: know you guys run a fantastic business out there. Oh, Shelley,

151
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: you mentioned last week though, after that terrible breaking, you know,

152
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: the kids had nap plan to go to as well

153
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: at school. How are the kids going?

154
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 4: Are they all right? They're good, They're good.

155
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: We don't have the nap Land results. Everyone keeps asking,

156
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: then how did you go? How did you go? Well,

157
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: we don't have the results, so anyway, time will tell.

158
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,319
