A 20-year-old Otago man who had a warrant for his arrest in relation to a stabbing in Queenstown over the weekend was detained entering Australia yesterday evening and will be returned to New Zealand.
As a result of Police inquiries, the man was detained around 7pm last night by Australian Federal Police, who have been assisting Queenstown Police.
We are working with AFP and the NZ Police liaison office based in Sydney to have the man returned to New Zealand. The time frame for this is yet to be confirmed.
