One local resident from the Bay of Plenty is taking the preparation for Cyclone Lusi to another level. Better safe than sorry.

Northland residents caused a stir yesterday after they decided to act on a dusty problem.

Counties Manukau East Police are urging the public to look out for a strangely behaving man exposing himself to the public.
