The searches were carried out three days after New Zealand was rocked by a violent shooting in two mosques in the city of Christchurch that left 50 people killed and dozens injured. New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the shooting a terrorist act, saying it was the country's "darkest day".
The suspected shooter is Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian national and a Dunedin resident. On Saturday, a court in New Zealand ruled to remand Tarrant into custody until 5 April.
