One of the United States top law officers is in New Zealand.
FBI head James Comey slipped into the country and has been meeting with the Attorney General Chris Finlayson and with the Commissioner of Police.
American sources say he's here as part of ongoing meetings over security in the region.
Mr Comey was appointed to the job by President Obama late in 2013.
The US Embassy in Wellington said he was in New Zealand to discuss "a host of important issues regarding the safety and security of the citizens of both countries".
