Police are investigating whether a group of people questioned about a smashed up car in central Wellington, know the vehicle's owner.
A silver sedan with broken windows, no plates, and wrapped in police tape has been at Waitangi Park on the corner of Oriental Parade and Herd Street for at least 36 hours.
Police did not address questions from RNZ about whether they were concerned for the car's owner, but confirmed they knew who that person was.
A police spokesperson said they were called about a group of people "acting suspiciously around a vehicle on Oriental Parade" around 4am on Wednesday.
