Travel Warning!

Muggings are on the rise. Avoid Traveling to New Zealand.

After the latest incident in which eight English and dutch tourists, including two women, were attacked by a large gang of knife-wielding Caucasian New Zealanders, and other incidents of robbery targeting foreign visitors (see references below), a trend seems to be emerging.

The attackers, 6 men in their late 20s or early 30s, shouted, “they have the wrong accent!” as they proceeded to stab six of the tourists, in what seems to be a mugging incident.

If you are traveling to New Zealand

• Don’t drive on the deadly roads.

• Don’t walk alone. Make sure you visit places in groups of 20 to 30 people.

• When attacked by muggers, hand over your money without any resistance, or you could get stabbed.
