Police are investigating a report that a green laser was shone into the cockpit of an aircraft landing at Nelson Airport last night.
The aircraft, an Air New Zealand Bombardier Q300, landed safely about 7.30pm, but the pilots reported being struck by a laser on their final approach, said Sergeant Wade Jennings of Nelson police.
They said the laser appeared to come from the hills to the west of central Nelson.
