Kia ora Bruce

 

I am contacting you about your OIA where you asked:

 

“Do the New Zealand police have any record of,  or any information
regarding any court attendance, court case, charges or conviction of Mr
Clarke Timothy Gayford within the years of 2019 to 2022 inclusive.”

 

Police released a statement to Newshub earlier this week on the same
matter, which can be found in the article linked below:

[1]https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala...

I have also copied the relevant part here for you:

Police have also responded to the rumours, releasing a statement to
Newshub this week saying that while they don't respond to queries asking
if certain people are under investigation, "on this occasion we can say
that Mr Gayford is not and has not been the subject of any police inquiry,
nor has he been charged in relation to any matter".

I hope that this is sufficient to answer your query.  If it is, would you
please withdraw your OIA?

 

Thanks very much

Kind regards

Melina
