Dear Judena
Request for information
Thank you for your email dated 21/01/2019 requesting information on CCTV footage.
You requested:
1. I am after the cctv footage from lights(intersections) cnr of rutherford street and
ferry road also cnr of radley street and ferry road and cnr of garlands and port
hills road between monday 14th january 2019 and friday jan 18th 2019 between
hrs of 8am to 3pm my reason for this is my 2002 red holden vx was stolen from
my home and have also left damage to my garage where the car was kept
locked these are the accessible roads i am hoping the theif took with cctv
footage.If not all footage anything helps.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the Official Information Act
1982. We are unable to provide the requested information for the following reasons:
• Section 18(f) Official Information Act 1982 – The information cannot be made
available without substantial collation or research
The Senior CCTV Camera Operator responded with following comments….
We are unable to assist with this enquiry.
The time frame requested (5 days) is too long to save.
We would only save this amount of footage for a serious offence and then we would
want the time frame narrowed down.
The cameras at these intersections are not clear enough to identify who was driving
the stolen vehicle so although we may locate the vehicle we would not get a clear
picture of who was driving it.
If
you
have
any
questions,
you
may
contact
[email address].
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not satisfied
with Police’s response to your request.
Yours sincerely
Paul
