Wellington, New Zealand – New Zealand police have condemned the actions of a Sunday newspaper which asked people masquerading as terrorists to smuggle fake bombs into two Super 14 rugby matches last weekend.

Spokesman Jon Neilson on Friday said police were unlikely to charge the Sunday Star-Times newspaper over the stunt in which an undisclosed number of fake bombs were carried into matches at Hamilton and Christchurch, apparently to test security measures.

“We are aware of the situation and have been looking into it. But at this stage, it would not appear that there has been any offense committed,” he said.

Police Minister Judith Collins described the newspaper’s actions as “unbelievably stupid and irresponsible.”

“This stunt had the potential to result in games being called off and stadiums evacuated,” she said.

“Common sense would tell you that running around a stadium dressed as a bomber has the potential to end very badly.”
