Thread: Police seize 39 guns in raid at house in rural south Auckland

Certainly seems that there is more to the story than what has been reported.

Yes, but they were doing both at the same time. He may be 100% correct that no PO had been served previously. However that is what they were there to do at that time. Serve the order and remove there firearms at the same time.

It doesn't say anything about previously though, they quote him as saying 'no PO was served' when talking about the raid. Could just be the usual hopeless reporting either way.

Wouldn't be the first time cops have lied to try and cover their asses if they're in the wrong, the times they get caught do make you wonder how often they do it and get away with it.

If you listen to the audio of the guy talking, when he says that no order was served, he was saying that while the cops were still outside while he was refusing to let them in.

Perhaps the cops served it after they got in and after he had finished talking to the media? And before the chief cop told the media it had been served.

Makes more sense to me than taking the whole AOS and then just not serving the order they went there to serve.
