Motivations behind the 23/11/23 bomb threats against Auckland schools and hospitals

Oliver made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

Currently waiting for a response from New Zealand Police, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Oliver

Dear New Zealand Police, In 2023 during exam season, there were numerous bomb threats towards organisations in Auckland, among which many were schools. It has been a few years and I am wondering whether the origin of the emails was ever found and if the motivations behind the bomb threats were related to the exam season.
