Two dozen sacred tā moko tools stolen from West Auckland studio

Bernadette Basagre Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours,

Two dozen traditional tā moko tools have been stolen from an Auckland studio, including artist Mokonui-a-rangi Smith late teacher.

The tools, considered tapu (sacred) will need to be remade and handcrafted again as it is made with "ancestral knowledge".

However, Smith's late teacher's tools are irreplaceable. If you know more, contact police quoting the file number 210725/4878.
