It was 20 years ago today that a small SAS detachment from the New Zealand Defence Force took part in a daring mission to safely remove dozens of United Nations personnel from hostile territory in West Timor. And their reward? Coca-Cola and chocolate bars. In his own words, Lieutenant Colonel Rob Hitchings, New Zealand’s Chief of Staff on the Brigade HQ in East Timor at the time recalls the planning and execution of the risky mission.

A heroic Beach Haven man thwarted a robbery by standing up to four masked men who stormed into his family dairy on Saturday night.

After taking one glimpse of Manav Prasad - a 110kg, 21-year-old rugby prop, power-lifter and ex-boxer - and the would-be bandits fled.

Prasad was closing up the Kauri Park Superette with his 20-year-old sister around 7.35pm when the intruders came in.

"At first I thought it was some last-minute customers, but when one of them jumped up on the counter holding an empty bag I knew I had to act," Prasad said.
