The Police Special Tactics Group will be conducting training exercises inside a Wellington apartment block over the next couple of weeks, in co-operation with Housing New Zealand.
The exercises will take place at the Owen Street Apartments, 175 Owen St, Wellington between the dates of Thursday June 23 and Monday 1 August, 2016. The Housing New Zealand apartment block is due to be demolished after this.
The training will take place between the hours of 10am and 3pm.
There may be loud noises coming from the venue as the exercise involves the use of breaching techniques.
Police would like to reassure residents in the area that there is no cause for concern as it is a routine training exercise.
If you have any queries or concerns please contact the Wellington Police Communications Centre on (04) 381 2000.
