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.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
