"Police are treating the vandalism of a rainbow pedestrian crossing on Auckland's Karangahape Rd this morning as a "hate crime" and have carried out a search of a property in the city's south.
White paint was spread across the design, which depicts the LGBTTQIA+ flag.
The incident was reported to police at around 3.20am.
The prominent rainbow pride symbol was the second such crossing to be vandalised in New Zealand this week, after Gisborne's Gladstone Rd pride crossing was also painted white in a staged protest.
"Police have no tolerance for reports of this nature, which appear to directly target a particular sector of our diverse community, and we are treating this as a hate crime," Auckland City Central Area Commander Inspector Grant Tetzlaff said.
Police also executed a search warrant at a property in Flat Bush this afternoon, he said."
