A man has been charged with threats to kill after armed police flooded a Dunedin street this afternoon.<\/p>\n
At least seven armed officers, four police vehicles and a dog handling unit could be seen on Maitland St just after 12pm today.<\/p>\n
A police spokesman said the operation was pre-planned and related to police inquiries into a “person of interest”.<\/p>\n
A 42-year-old man was now in custody and had been charged with breach of bail, threats to kill and two counts of burglary.<\/p>\n
He was due to appear in the Dunedin District Court tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The street was cordoned off at the intersection with Stafford St and police activity was centred on a property near the intersection with Carroll St.<\/p>\n
Police were speaking to people outside the property and two women, who appeared to be witnesses, were taken away in a police car.<\/p>\n
Police remained at the property as enquiries continued, the spokesman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been charged with threats to kill after armed police flooded a Dunedin street this afternoon.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":502188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-502782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
