Two further arrests have been made in Operation Hawkin, the ongoing homicide investigation in Mt Wellington.

The investigation has been underway since the afternoon of 5 December.

Detective Inspector Scott Beard, of Auckland City CIB, says four arrests have now been made in the investigation to date.

Yesterday evening, Police were speaking with a man taken into custody in the Waikato region near Te Awamutu.

“We have since charged the 53-year-old man with being an accessory after the fact to murder,” Detective Inspector Beard says.
