Police have cordoned off a section of road near a college and intermediate school, in the Wellington suburb of Johnsonville.
A section of busy Burma Road was closed for some time on Friday night, with a wide cordon in place, and traffic approaching it being turned back.
Crime scene markers were visible within the cordon, and officers were seen examining a car near a pedestrian crossing between Onslow College and Raroa Intermediate Normal School.
A police officer at the scene said the cordon was related to traffic, and there was no risk to the public.
A post on a local Facebook group said people should avoid the stretch of road between Fraser Avenue and the Rāroa roundabout. It said Fraser Avenue was open, but with traffic blocked up due to the cordon.

Gloriavale leader Howard Temple 'did not grope', lawyer says
Gloriavale leader Howard Temple. Photo: The Press/Kai Schwoerer The Greymouth District Court will hear more evidence from women accusing Gloriavale leader Howard Temple of sexual offending today, as the judge alone trial continues. Temple is facing 24 charges of indecent assault and doing an indecent act to nine women who ranged in age from nine to 20 years old when the offending took place, between 1997 and 2022. The crown said the crimes occurred in the kitchen, dining hall and a men's bathroom at the commune, which is located about 60 kilometres from Greymouth, at Lake Haupiri. The crown alleges the defendant would prey on the young women, stroking their legs, grabbing them around the waist or by their dresses as they served food, or while working in the kitchen, grabbing them from behind, kissing them on the neck or groping them. Temple, 85, has pleaded not guilty. He acknowledges kissing and hugging some of the complainants, but denies any of it was indecent. His lawyer, Michael Vesty, said Temple - and other leaders - would merely acknowledge the young women's work with an "affectionate hug". He describe the gestures as demonstrations of "gratitude and support that were acceptable conduct in the day to day life of the community", and said Temple "did not grope, did not grab, did not linger". On Monday, the court heard from one of the nine complainants. The woman, who has name suppression, told the court of working in the kitchen and dining hall from the time she was a primary school aged child. A videotaped police interview from 2015 was played to the court before the woman took the stand and told of being touched, grabbed, groped and harassed by Temple and other men at Gloriavale. She talked of strategies women and girls used to try to avoid the worst of the harassment, or avoid being vulnerable to assault. The complainant, who was born at Gloriavale and left when she was in her late 20s, described a culture of fear and victim blaming. During her time there, "if any issues happened, say between a married man and a single woman, or two single people even, the women were always at fault". "The man's wife was at fault because she obviously wasn't doing the right thing to keep her husbands eyes only on her, and the girl who had been abused was at fault because she had also tempting him." Anything from showing too much hair under their headscarf to wearing ankle socks to tying their belts incorrectly was considered rebellious or "worldly", and an attempt to attract men's attention. Telling anyone could have meant being shamed, isolated, or prevented from marrying, and there was no one to confide in, because "it's everybody's job to dob everybody else in". During cross examination, Vesty indicated he will call a number of witnesses to attest the woman had a friendly and warm relationship with Temple, and would sometimes instigate hugs herself, which she denied. The defence spent some time dissecting letters Temple had sent the then-teenager while he was in India setting up another community , often addressing her as his favourite girlfriend. The woman said the letters were inappropriate in their language and tone, coming from the group's leader to a teenager. But Temple's lawyer's Michael Vesty said the letters show genuine pastoral concern. The crown intends to call some of the other complainants as well as two of the police officers involved in the case. The trial is set down for two weeks.

Gangs Are Going Global And So Is The Illegal Gun Trade – NZ Can Do More To Fight It
, University of Waikato According to the Global Organised Crime Index, international criminal activity has increased over the past two years. And the politically fractured post-pandemic world has made this even harder for nations to combat. New Zealand is far from immune. According to official advice in late March to Minister of Customs and Associate Minister of Police Casey Costello: The threat posed by organised crime in New Zealand has increased substantially in the last five years. Even with the best of will, New Zealand is losing the fight. New criminal groups are becoming active here – from Burma via Malaysia, to the Comancheros and Mongols gangs. Each brings new networks, violent tactics and the potential to corrupt institutions in New Zealand and throughout the Pacific. As of October 2024, the national gang list contained 9,460 names. While there is debate about the accuracy of the figures, gang membership has grown considerably. This is fuelled by the global trade in illegal drugs, with local criminal profits conservatively estimated at NZ$500–600 million annually. The one relative bright spot is that New Zealand hasn't yet seen the levels of firearms-related violence driven by organised crime overseas. For example, European research shows the illegal trade in guns and drugs becoming increasingly intertwined. But waiting to catch up with those trends should not be an option. New Zealand already has a lot firearms. In the past six years, police conducting routine patrols have reportedly encountered 17,000 guns, or nearly ten every day, nationwide. In 2022, official figures showed, on average, approximately one firearms offence had been committed daily by gang members since 2019. The risk had become apparent much earlier, in 2016, with the discovery of fourteen military assault-grade AK47s and M16s in an Auckland house being used to manufacture methamphetamine. This year, another firearms cache, including assault rifles and semiautomatics, was found in Auckland. Progress and problems On the legal front, the main avenues New Zealand gangs use to obtain illegal firearms are being closed off. Under the Arms Act, members or close affiliates of a gang or an organised criminal group cannot be considered 'fit and proper' to lawfully possess a firearm. These people may have specific firearms prohibition orders added against them, which allow the police additional powers to ensure firearms don't fall into the wrong hands. The firearms registry is key to this. There are now more than 400,000 firearms fully accounted for, making it harder for so-called ' straw buyers ' to onsell them to gangs. Despite the progress, several challenges remain. In particular, the nature of the gun registry has been politicised, with the ACT and National parties disagreeing over a review of the system's scope. Arguments over the types of firearms covered and which agency looks after the registry risk undermining its central purpose of preventing criminals getting guns. Theft of firearms from lawful owners needs more attention, too. Making it a specific offence – not just illegal possession – would be an added deterrent. Tighter and targeted policy Accounting for all the estimated 1.5 million firearms in New Zealand will be very difficult – especially with the buy-back and amnesty for prohibited firearms after the Christchurch terror attack likely being far from complete. There are also tens of thousands of non-prohibited firearms in the hands of unlicensed but not necessarily criminal owners. Given all firearms must be registered by the end of August 2028, there should be another buy-back (at market rates) of all guns that should be on the register. This might be expensive, but the cost of opening a large pipeline to criminals would be worse. There needs to be greater investment in staff, education and technology within intelligence services and customs. This will help inform evidence-based policy, and support targeted law enforcement. A recent European Union initiative to track gun violence in real time is an example of how data can help in this way. New Zealand is a party to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (and its two protocols on people trafficking and migrant smuggling). But it is not a party to a supplementary protocol covering the illicit manufacturing and trafficking of firearms and ammunition. That should change. Amendments to the Arms Act since 2019 mean New Zealand law and policy fit the protocol perfectly. By joining, New Zealand could strengthen regional cooperation and increase public safety, given the scale of the problem and its potential to get worse.
