thisquality understood Kelvyn Alp, host of dis/misinformation fake news show Counterspin Media, was taken into custody at around 11.10am on Friday after travelling from Whangarei to Wellington to attend a bogus High Court hearing at Wellington's High Court.
Anti-vaccine activist Sue Grey, a lawyer who failed to contest and stop the government's Covid-19 vaccine rollout earlier in the year, organised the latest hearing scheduled for October 21 through to 22 to discredit the outcome of New Zealand's life-saving rollout during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is believed Alp travelled down with his partner Hannah Spierer to attend the Court hearing in Wellington. Both have been seen on social media posts not wearing masks and mingling with a number of other people.
Source: CC/ SUPPLIEDAbout six officers were at the scene to arrest Alp. The driver of a stationed Police van was seen wearing full PPE gear.
He had been taken to Upper Hutt Police station for assurance checking, and at around 2.30pm was released from custody.
Police gave thisquality a comment surrounding his arrest shortly after 7pm.
“A man was taken into custody in Wellington today after Police received information he may have travelled from Auckland and was in breach of Covid-19 travel restrictions,” a Police spokesperson said.
“Enquiries established the man had travelled from Whangarei and he was released without charge.”
