flag New Zealand police unlawfully entered a home in July 2024 to arrest a man, an oversight panel found, though force used later was justified.

flag New Zealand police unlawfully entered a Flaxmere home in July 2024 to arrest a man for breaching bail, the Independent Police Conduct Authority ruled, finding officers lacked legal basis to enter or use pepper spray since the arrest hadn’t occurred inside the residence. flag The force used after the man barricaded himself was justified to prevent self-harm. flag The watchdog cited widespread confusion among officers about arrest laws and recommended improved training, clearer warrant procedures, and repairs to the damaged property. flag Police accepted the findings and are working to address compliance issues.
