Firefighters continue to battle blazes in Canterbury. Six injured in two crashes in the North Island overnight. Further rulings possible in ICJ Israel-Gaza genocide case.

Police are seeking the public’s help to identify a shirtless man on a scooter in connection to two burglaries in the Whangamatā area over the weekend.

“Both incidents took place at neighbouring properties on Port Rd between 10pm on Friday 26 and 12.40am on Saturday 27,” police said.

Police said they believe the man pictured - who is barefoot, of solid build, balding but with long, thinning white hair and a bushy white moustache - will be able to assist their inquiries.
