The Hauraki District Mayor is confident his community feels safe even though a murder investigation is being conducted in their midst.
Police have now revealed that 55-year-old Mykonos Pizza owner Jordan Voudouris was gunned down last month.
But Hauraki District Mayor John Tregidga says despite the shocking murder, not one person has come to him with fears for their safety.
“If there’s one thing that has come out of this, and this was shown at the memorial service, was people came out and said this is not Paeroa,” says Mr Tregidga.
Police are calling for anyone with information on the killing to talk to them.
