Second Arrest Made In Relation To Fatal Hit-And-Run Crash In Rotorua

Police have arrested and charged a second person in relation to a fatal crash in Rotorua on 15 June.

As a result of a search warrant yesterday, a 55-year-old man was arrested at a Rotorua address. He is due to appear in the Rotorua District Court today charged with accessory after the fact to manslaughter.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Van Kempen says the man also faces additional charges that are unrelated to the fatal crash on 15 June.

“While executing the warrant, staff discovered ammunition, cannabis and stolen property at the address.”

The man has also been charged with unlawful possession of ammunition, cultivating cannabis and receiving property (over $1000).

“Once again, we wish to thank the public for the assistance they have provided over the course of this investigation, which has been vital to making the two arrests we have made.”
