Auckland police have come under fire for calling a wanted woman "fat" while referring to her as a "him" on Facebook.
A mug shot of the woman was posted to the North Shore, Rodney & West Auckland Police Facebook page where social media users called out the police for their blunder.
Members of the public commented telling police that "fat" was "a bit harsh".
Police swiftly changed their description to say "solid build".
The woman in question, 22-year-old Tupou Schick, is wanted for arrest for breaching bail conditions.
