Police have increased visibility at transport hubs across T¨¡maki Makaurau following the fatal Onehunga bus attack and will continue with this increased presence over the long weekend.
Auckland City Acting District Commander Sunny Patel says it¡¯s important the public knows that Police are continuing to take action.
¡°It¡¯s understandable the community are feeling shaken. We want to provide reassurance heading into the long weekend that we will have an ongoing presence around public transport.
¡°Our beat teams will also maintain their presence in and around key public spaces.
¡°Our city and transport system are important spaces for the public, and people should be free to use these areas without fear.
¡°Police and partner agencies will be focused on ensuring these hubs are places where the public and commuters can be safe and feel safe.¡±
Police continue to encourage the public to report incidents that may be unfolding so appropriate action can be taken.
¡°If an incident is happening now, I urge people to report it to 111 as soon as they can.¡±
Information can also be provided to Police by making an online report at 105.police.govt.nz using ¡°Update Report¡± or by calling 105.
