Fake police officers steal $25k worth of belongings from Auckland University students after conducting 'search warrant'
Two university students say they were robbed by an armed trio wearing high-visibility police vests.
The offenders produced a fake search warrant before stealing between $25,000 and $30,000 worth of belongings from their home in Auckland’s Birkenhead, they say.
Auckland University student Jackson, who requested only his first name be used due to safety concerns, said the robbery happened after midnight on April 13.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
