The Queenstown Islamic Centre moved into its Gorge Rd site earlier this month. Southern district commander Superintendent Paul Basham said on Friday that police had made an arrest in connection to posters being placed around Queenstown, including at the Islamic Centre. An 18-year-old man was charged with possession of a knife and appeared in the Queenstown District Court on Thursday. Police expected to lay further charges in due course, Basham said. “We know incidents like this are upsetting for our community, and we d like to thank Queenstown residents for the information they have provided to assist our inquiries.” Anyone with information about the posters is asked to call Queenstown police on 105.
