Police want to hear from anyone who was in the Addington Ave area on the evening of 31 December through to around 3.30am on 1 January, including those with dashcam footage.<\/p>\n

Manurewa resident Charlton Leo said, on the day, the neighbourhood was “in shock”.<\/p>\n

“This is quite unusual … no one comes here, it’s fairly quiet at night.”<\/p>\n

He said he did not notice anything out of the ordinary the night before.<\/p>\n

“There were a few people lighting flares … people just having fun. We didn’t think anything of it, and went to bed.”<\/p>\n
