property on King Street, Temuka on Wednesday." 
 
Please provide the search warrant and evidence sheet generated from this raid.’ 
I have considered your request in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982 
and the Privacy Act 1993. 
 
You are not mentioned on the file as an owner or occupier of the building searched.

information would involve the unwarranted disclosure of the affairs of another 
individual or of a deceased individual. 
•  Section 6(c) Official Information Act 1982 –  The  release would be  likely  to 
prejudice the maintenance of law, including the prevention, investigation and 
detection of offences, and the right to a fair trial.  
 
If you are not satisfied with my response to your request you have the right to 
complain to the Office of the Ombudsman and seek an  investigation  and review of
