Police seek motorists and footage to SH20 fatality

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are appealing for motorists to come forward following a fatality on the South-Western motorway this morning.

A man died on a section of State Highway 20 near Mt Roskill after entering live lanes on the motorway network.

Detective Senior Sergeant Kathy Bostock, of Auckland City CIB, says the pedestrian was struck by at least three vehicles.

“From our enquiries so far, we have established the man entered the northbound on-ramp at Dominion Road at around 1.30am,” she says.

“None of the vehicles stopped at the time.

“Police are asking these motorists to contact us as they are an important part of us establishing the circumstances of this tragic event.”

A scene examination was carried out on a section of State Highway 20 in the early hours of the morning, with those closures having since been lifted.

“An investigation is now underway and it’s important those motorists do the right thing and come forward,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bostock says.

Police are seeking witnesses in the area to come forward that were travelling through the area on State Highway 20, between 1.30am and 2am, to come forward.

“We know there were a number of vehicles passing through, so we’d especially like to hear from anyone who has dashcam footage.”

Anyone with information can contact Police on 105 or attend their local Police station using the reference number 250207/4077.

Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

Further important update to all Neighbourly members

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Dear Neighbours,

We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.

Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.

We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.

Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.

Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.

We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.

Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.
