    Auckland Police have made an arrest in connection with the alleged murder of courier driver Tuipulotu Vi more than 13-months ago

    Auckland Police have made an arrest in connection with the alleged murder of courier driver Tuipulotu Vi more than 13-months ago


    A 23-year-old man's been arrested after police executed a search warrant in Otara this morning.

    He's been charged with being party to Vi's murder and is due in the Manukau District Court this afternoon.

    The 59-year-old died after his courier van was struck by gunfire in Pakuranga Heights in the early hours of a Monday morning in August last year.

    Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers says further arrests can't be ruled out.
