Petty crime amnesty in murder inquiry

Tauranga police say they will not prosecute anyone involved in petty crime by the Wairoa Bridge - if they can supply information on this week's double homicide.

It is now four days since a couple were found dead with shotgun wounds.

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Turner said they have spoken to a number of people, but are keen to locate more.

He said they are looking for a murderer or murderers and are not interested in any petty crime that may have been taking place.

Mr Turner said they have also spoken to a number of people with boy-racer cars, but have not necessarily located the one they were looking for.

It is described as a dark blue Toyota Corolla type vehicle with lowered suspension.
