At the twilight of Sunday 17, 2018, the New Zealand Police Department closed Dunedin airport over a suspicious device that was reported on the airfield.
“Dunedin Airport is currently closed,” a statement said. “Police are at the scene and specialist teams have been deployed to determine the nature of the package.”
New Zealand is currently on a state of high alert after a gunman who is believed to have lived in Dunedin killed 50 people in two mosques filled with worshippers.
