A man stole a Māori carving from an apartment building in Auckland and left the scene on an e-scooter, police said.
The man was captured on CCTV as he arrived at the Fernz Motel and Apartments on Rawene Rd in Birkenhead about 5.16am on Wednesday April 28.
He then removed the carving – a “treasured taonga” – from the wall before taking off on the scooter, detective constable Alistair Harford said.
The man was wearing a grey hoodie over white overalls.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police by phoning 105, quoting file number 210428/9644.

Update on 13 Cresta Avenue and 96 Beach Haven Road, Beach Haven
Last year the proposal to build 72 dwellings across land that is zoned for single houses was quite rightly refused by a hearing panel.
Now the developer has applied for a change to the zoning of the land under Unitary Plan to make it easier to allow their development when they next apply.
It is called Plan Change 99 and is open for public consultation until 17 May 2024.
See here for the documents and how to submit:

Plan Change 99 seeks to:
* rezone approximately 7,147m2 of land, at 13 Cresta Avenue and 96 Beach Haven Road, Beach Haven, from Residential – Single House Zone to Residential – Mixed Housing Urban Zone
* introduce a precinct to both sites which incorporates the Medium Density Residential Standards in accordance with section 77G(1) and Schedule 3A of the Resource Management Act 1991.

Free BBQ! Walk the new track!
This is a new step-free route between Kauri Glen Road and Tui Glen Road, with a refurbished track (including steps) to Raymond Terrace. The new bridge is around 6 storeys high with a very impressive view of the forest tree tops.
The new tracks, bridge and boardwalk have been built to a standard to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease, which is especially important in this park.
*** Please always clean your shoes, bikes, prams and wheelchairs at the stations. ***
Note: We made the decision to allow public access earlier than expected to prevent further damage to the forest by those who were throwing the fences into the trees 🙁
