Police attend Brian Tamaki’s property and seize firearms from the Destiny Church leader, while a temporary suspension notice is served and authorities assess whether he remains “fit and proper” to hold a gun licence. Stuff reports police visit Tamaki’s property on Tuesday morning and provide him with a temporary firearms licence suspension notice. The NZ Herald says officers remove several large guns from his home following reports tied to online activity, including “incendiary” comments that were shown in a live stream. The NZ Herald also reports police conduct a separate investigation into whether Tamaki should retain the licence, focusing on whether he meets the legal standard of being “fit and proper.” Tamaki disputes the basis for police action, saying in response that he is “not dangerous” and claiming the gun confiscation was a “political move.” Across the accounts, police actions include serving the temporary suspension notice, seizing a firearms cache, and starting or continuing checks related to the conditions for holding a firearms licence. The matter is presented as an ongoing police process rather than a final decision on the licence.
