A Cambridge man has been arrested after he edited a text message to inaccurately say he had returned a positive Covid-19 test.
Waikato west area commander Will Loughrin said the 27-year-old contacted a number of people informing them he had returned a positive result.
Police were made aware of the situation on Wednesday night after being contacted by a concerned individual. The man was arrested tonight.
The Ministry of Health confirmed the man had a Covid-19 test on September 20 and received a negative result two days later.
