Stolen Bell Sparks Community Hope | Auckland News

A century-old bronze bell stolen from Rāwene’s St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church has left the community heartbroken—but not vengeful. Once a beloved fixture outside the church since 2000, the bell’s disappearance between July 15 and last Wednesday sparked shock and sorrow. Yet parishioners are calling for compassion, offering help to whoever took it, trusting faith over fury. Locals echo this plea, urging anyone with info to come forward—police believe the theft required a vehicle and significant effort. The bell, a cherished symbol of Rāwene’s history, is being sought undamaged, with hope that it returns to its rightful place.
