Israeli strikes Lebanese capital, official cash rate decision due today, a drop in worker mental health scores and Former MP Nikki Kaye has died.
A 35-year-old has been arrested and charged after allegedly presenting a gun at a meeting with a person he was due to buy a vehicle from.
Police were called after an incident at a petrol station in Takanini, South Auckland, last night; where two men had arranged to meet tosell a car that had been advertised on Facebook Marketplace.
A disagreement about the final purchase price arose, Senior Sergeant Minho Lee said.
“At one point, the offender allegedly showed the seller what was believed to be a firearm in his possession.”
No one was injured and the transaction concluded - with the offender leaving in the vehicle that had been advertised for sale, Lee said.
Police later received a report about the incident and a police officer spotted the vehicle parked on Karangahape Rd, in the city centre, just after midnight.
“Armed staff approached the vehicle and located the offender in the driver’s seat.”
