Auckland International Airport property theft on Saturday 29 April 2023

Lesley from Pukekohe

Warning: If you are travelling internationally with perishable food, beware, it may be stolen possibly by baggage handlers then somehow removed from the International airport into Auckland without NZ Customs even knowing.
My brother flew back to Australia after a deep sea fishing trip in the Bay of Plenty with 10kgs of Bluenose fish fillets packed in a marked poly-bin.
It had cleared NZ Customs but did not get put on his Qantas flight and apparently there is no trace of it.
Auckland International Airport and NZ Customs have not investigated nor offered any information as to how this happened so beware that even at our international border, nothing is safe.
Interestingly the skipper of the Charter Boat he went out on said that he takes out many foreign fishermen but mainly from Australia and the USA so this tourism is valuable to NZ and we need to do better.
