statement from Vodafone re: Whangarei

Vodafone regrets this terrible incident and our first priority is the care of our staff who were in the store at the time. We have arranged counselling and will provide whatever ongoing support is needed.

Our thoughts are with all involved and the staff of the Whangarei store in particular. They acted calmly and responsibly during a tense situation and while they are obviously shaken and upset they are otherwise unharmed.

We are working closely with the Police to ensure full cooperation during their investigation of the incident.
