Māori carving found in bushes after being stolen from Auckland apartment building
A “treasured” Māori carving stolen from an apartment building has been found in bushes not far away.
The carving was stolen from the Fernz Motel and Apartments in Birkenhead, on Auckland’s North Shore, on April 28.
A man was captured on CCTV taking the “unique” piece, then leaving on an e-scooter.
It was found by a member of public over the weekend and has been returned to its owners, police said.
An investigation into the theft is continuing, and police are appealing for the public to help identify the man seen on CCTV.
He was wearing a grey hoodie over white overalls when he was caught on camera just after 5am.
“Why would someone be wearing these distinctive white overalls early in the morning?” detective constable Alistair Harford said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 105, quoting file number 210428/9644.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
