Auckland City Police will be out in force this weekend in a special operation aimed at curbing criminal activity by those travelling into the city.
An additional 80 police will be on duty monitoring and patrolling key transport hubs and arterial routes as well as high-risk areas.
Operation Lead, Inspector Vaughn Graham said the aim of the operation was to reduce the opportunity for criminals to offend within the Auckland City District.
“We want to send a clear message to criminals that if they’re coming into our district to commit crimes, then we will be ready and waiting for them.”
Inspector Graham said Police would be working in close partnership with other agencies including Transdev and community and safety patrols to target known offenders and to stop any would-be offenders.
He said the public should expect to see more patrols on trains, platforms, in car parks and motorways as well as in known property crime spots.
“We know that a large number of property crime offences in particular are committed by criminals who come into the city at weekends. This operation is one of many aimed at curbing this type of offending.
“Check points will also be set up throughout the city so drivers committing other offences, like drink-driving, should also be aware that they will be caught.”
