Police continue to appeal to protestors to leave Parliament Grounds peacefully, as the area is closed to the public.
It is disappointing that despite the grounds being officially closed to the public earlier today, a number of protesters are refusing repeated requests to leave the precinct.

Police continue to take a measured approach, exercising their powers fairly and proportionately.
We continue to acknowledge people’s rights to protest, however those who behave unlawfully will face arrest.

As at 11.30am, Police have arrested more than 50 people.

They face charges including trespass and obstruction, and will be bailed to appear in court.
They will also be formally served trespass notices from Parliament Grounds.

Police also appeal to the owners or drivers of vehicles unlawfully blocking streets surrounding Parliament grounds to remove them immediately, or face enforcement action.
Wellingtonians have the right to conduct their lives and go about their business without the interference of ongoing unlawful activity.

Additional resources will be deployed from around the country as long as is necessary to ensure public safety.

Police can report there were no incidents of note overnight at Parliament Grounds.

There were, however, two arrests for alcohol-related behaviour among those in the protest group.
Police continue to take a measured approach to the protesters, who are trespassing on the grounds of Parliament and have been repeatedly asked to leave.

This is an extremely difficult working environment for our frontline staff.
However, Police have been exercising their powers fairly and professionally, and have used force proportionate and relevant to the circumstances.

Images and videos often do not provide the full context of the protest activity and the situation Police staff face.

A total of 122 people have been arrested today as Police continue to enforce a trespass order at Parliament grounds.

The number of protesters at the grounds has reduced significantly, and Police will maintain a presence overnight.
A number of roads around the area remain blocked and Police urge Wellington commuters to plan their travel accordingly.

Other smaller protest gatherings include a small group outside the Picton Police Station today, although the group dispersed earlier this evening.
In Christchurch, Police have arrested and charged the driver of a vehicle associated with a protest group outside the Christchurch Central Police Station. The driver’s behaviour caused Police to become concerned.

The enquiry into the Christchurch terror attacks has the largest number of detectives and specialists we have ever deployed on an investigation.

We have more than 250 officers and support staff dedicated to this enquiry.
This is now an international investigation which includes staff from the FBI and @AusFedPolice on the ground in New Zealand, as well as investigators assisting in Australian states.
There is no indication at this stage that anyone else was directly involved in the attack – we believe this horrific act was committed by one person.
