Report a crime that's not an emergency
Use 105 to report crimes to Police that that aren't urgent, and don't need Emergency Services.
If you want to report a crime, use 105 if:
- no one’s injured or in danger
- there’s no serious risk to people or property
- the crime isn’t still happening.
If you can’t get through to 105 on your landline or mobile, you can report online at 105.police.govt.nz or call 0800 105 105.
