A 20-year-old Otago man detained by Police when entering
Australia yesterday evening did not have a warrant to arrest
when he left New Zealand.
The warrant was issued after he
boarded the plane.
NZ Police are working with AFP and the
NZ Police liaison office based in Sydney to have the man
returned to New Zealand.
Queenstown Police continue to
investigate the fight in the town early on Sunday morning
and remain keen to hear from anyone who saw what happened or
who has information that may
assist.
