Carlile House in Auckland’s Grey Lynn is slowly crumbling away.

Its owners, the United Church of Tonga, claim the land’s significance as home to the first Tongan congregation in New Zealand is being neglected by Auckland Council, in favour of its history as an orphanage, preventing the site from being developed.

Because of the building's status as a category one historic place and a stalemate with Auckland Council, Carlile House cannot be repaired or demolished.

However, the situation has recently become of higher concern to both parties, following the recent partial collapse of the building’s roof.

Security footage has emerged appearing to show two women in New Zealand Post uniforms stealing parcels from an Auckland apartment complex.

NZ Post has confirmed uniforms were stolen during a break-in at one of its depots in east Auckland on April 25 – three days before the CCTV video was shot.

It's understood one of the items was a gift intended to be used in a kindergarten fundraiser.

The CCTV footage was recorded at the Onehunga apartments just before 3pm on Wednesday, a resident said.

A police spokesman confirmed they’d received a report relating to the apartment theft last night, and police were looking to speak to the two women in the video.

“If members of the public know those involved they can provide information to police by calling 105 and quoting the file number 210429/3091.”


NZ Post told Stuff the company was working with police as it investigated the recent break-in and theft of courier uniforms and mail.
