Operation Near Sholto Duncan Crescent

Rick Fu made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

Currently waiting for a response from New Zealand Police, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Rick Fu

Dear New Zealand Police,

I am writing under the Official Information Act to request details regarding a police operation that appeared to take place near my residence on 27 July 2025 at approximately 7:30 PM.

Upon reviewing security camera footage from that evening, I observed a uniformed police officer near our front lawn racking (or chambering) a service firearm. This occurred in Sholto Duncan Crescent, which is typically a quiet area aside from occasional reports of vehicle theft.

Could you please provide:

- The nature and purpose of the police activity in the area at that time and location.
- Whether the officer's handling of the firearm was part of a planned operation or response.
- Any relevant incident reports or summaries associated with that operation.

Please let me know if further details are required to assist with the search.

Cheers,
Rick Fu
