A man has been charged after the Police helicopter suffered a laser strike onTuesday morning.
At about 2.50am Eagle was flying above Mount Eden when a laser light was allegedly directed at the aircraft.
Auckland City Area Response Manager, Acting Senior Sergeant Christian Iogha, says the light lasted for several seconds at a time, with one incident last almost 30 seconds.
“Officers quickly spotted a man shining the light and moving around the house to use different windows as the aircraft was moving.
“On board technology quickly identified the property and Police were able to take a man into custody without incident.”
Acting Senior Sergeant Iogha says a 28-year-old man has since been charged with interfering with an aircraft under the Civil Aviation Act 2023.
“The Police helicopter crew is out there working hard for the protection and safety of our community, and this type of behaviour puts everyone at risk.”
The alleged offender will appear in Auckland District Court on 27 October.

BUT-
It’s OK for oppressive governments to own, use and control laser weapons…

So, with the European Anti-Zionist uprisings, and more to follow in other countries, we can see where these weapons are headed, whether under government control or in the hands of those staging the various uprisings!
THERE ISN’T A SINGLE WEAPON ON THIS EARTH THAT EITHER HASN’T ALREADY BEEN USED, OR WILL BE USED ON POPULATIONS!

Meth event? Up all night nothing to do?
The helicopter noise at night is a pain in the A… It seems to like our neighbourhood. BUT we accept that it is doing a worthwhile job
i can say from experience that having that helicopter circling low overhead for HOURS most night and rattling all the window frames in an otherwise quiet peaceful suburb, could potentially drive anyone to irrational acts.
