Police are investigating a new shoplifting complaint against former Green MP Golriz Ghahraman, reportedly involving a late 2024 incident at Pak’nSave Royal Oak.
While no charges have been laid, Stuff reports that Ghahraman is the subject of the investigation.
Her lawyer declined to comment, and Foodstuffs, the supermarket’s operator, cited privacy responsibilities, refusing to confirm any details. According to the company, its North Island stores handle 4,500–5,000 retail crime incidents quarterly.
This follows Ghahraman’s conviction last year for stealing around $8,300 worth of goods from three clothing stores in Ponsonby, Newmarket, and Wellington. She resigned from the Green Party in 2024 when the allegations surfaced.
