The castle-like mansion, nestled in the Wellington hills, is the subject of a recent TVNZ+ documentary series, What the Hell Happened at Woofington’s?
The property was raided by police in 2019, with allegations of drugs, bombs and an armed burglary, though the only person charged was a staffer sentenced to community detention for possession of black powder in a pyrotechnic device.
Jennings said on Friday three others remained in hospital, and one other person had been treated and discharged from medical care.
“These incidents have occurred across the district, from Miramar, Brooklyn, Johnsonville, and Upper Hutt.
“An investigation is underway and police are treating the matter as a priority given the risk to the public.”
Jennings said police were urging the public to exercise caution, and anyone who may have this type of substance was urged not to consume it.
“If you, or someone you know, are feeling unwell, please go to your nearest healthcare provider urgently.”
