???1;Whangarei's Mayor wants more support for police ... after a man died outside a Raumanga petrol station on Saturday

The 25-year-old was killed after allegedly intervening in an attempted robbery of a woman withdrawing money at an ATM.

Police say they don't think gangs are involved, and are asking anyone with footage not to post it on social media.

Vince Cocurullo says police don't have enough resources.

He says the politicians need to get behind them and help, so they can achieve their work.
