Auckland family in fear after death threats, racist messages

From Morning Report, 8:37 am on 27 June 2019

Neighbours in west Auckland are rallying to support a family afraid for their safety because of a barrage of death threats, racist messages and dead animals in their letterbox.

One of their cars was also sprayed with graffiti, and both of their vehicles had their tyres slashed - one while it was parked in the garage.

Police are working to find whoever is responsible for the the incidents, which have been occurring with frightening regularity over the past five weeks.
