New Zealand supermarket attacker was being monitored by 'up to 30' police officers

The man who stabbed seven people at a New Zealand supermarket had been assessed by authorities as such a high risk that he was being monitored by up to 30 police officers in the weeks leading up to the attack.

Ms Ardern said surveillance had started"immediately" after his release but Mr Coster said that despite officers being"very good at what they do", they faced an extremely difficult job. But then he is believed to have taken a knife from the shelves of the store before stabbing people at random. His name is currently protected by a suppression order which is expected to lapse in the next 24 hours, but Ms Ardern indicated she would continue her stance on not mentioning the names of terrorists, something she made a point of after a terrorist killed 51 people at two mosques in the South Island city of Christchurch two years ago.

The bill was not brought about specifically to deal with the attacker, Ms Ardern said, but she acknowledged that, as his release had drawn nearer in July, it had appeared that under current laws,"we were reaching the point where all legal avenues were exhausted".

They don’t mess around there!

Slow hand clap for NZ police, but in fairness the problem is, you know someone hates everything western culture stands for, but unless they do something illegal, what can you do? Doesn't take much planning to grab a knife & rampage, so you monitor, wait & hope. What a mess!

Got to think buying a plane ticket to Sri Lanka would’ve been a less manpower intensive option.

So how was it possible for him to have attacked folks 🤔

Jacinda Ardern has blood on her hands for knowingly allowing him free on the street.

We true NZders are known as 'Infidels' by Muslims, Radicals/Terrorists. NZL's future there will be more attacks. I blame NZL-GOVT and PEOPLE OF ISLAMIC-FAITH for building mosques here. Also, a BIG MISTAKE, NZL being in Afghanistan, too.

No wonder there is a shortage of police

Same happens and has happened here in the uk, they knew about the Manchester arena bomber and the london bridge stabbing attacker but can't do or won't until it's too late.

Unbelievable that in these day and age these attacks by people known as a risk and are watched all over the world are allowed to walk free to attack. We ban types of dangerous animals why not just round them up and deport,to Syria etc if they are a risk to the west and hate us

Unfortunately they didn’t do a very good job 😞

So the police are useless. Time for handguns to qualified citizens.

30 police officers monitoring one man..yet he stabbed 6 ppl while being monitored

Not monitored very well then
