Police request information following shooting
Police are investigating after a firearms incident in Point England, Auckland early Wednesday morning (13 December).
What you need to know:
- At around 1.10am, Police were notified that gunshots had been heard at an address in Holland Avenue.
- Police attended and found several shattered windows at the property, and residents at the address said they’d heard a number of gunshots.
- Police are seeking information from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or any suspicious activity in Holland Avenue in the early hours of this morning.
Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Armstrong says Police located spent shell casings in the driveway. “We are speaking to those affected and providing support, including to two school-age children who were sleeping in a bedroom when its windows were struck. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, but the residents are understandably shaken by the incident.
