Rotorua shop owner claims women warned people off 'witchcraft' store

The owner of a Rotorua holistic shop says she's scared to be there alone after a group twice preached outside it, telling people she practised "witchcraft" and would kill anyone who went in. Muma Dee'z Creations owner Doris Elliot said three women had been preaching outside her shop on Thursday, the second such incident in a fortnight. Police said they received a report at around midday about three people causing a public disturbance on Tutanekai St. Officers attended and spoke with those involved. No arrests were made and no charges were laid. Elliot told 1News her husband had been pushed by a man with the group and her son called an ambulance after she developed sharp chest pains. "I thought I was going to have a heart attack because I had real sharp pains in my heart area, in my chest, and I couldn't breathe properly."
