The police are continuing to investigate after a person was shot in the leg in Kowhai Park in Feilding last weekend.
RNZ understands it was the result of an online marketplace sale gone wrong.
The person was hospitalised.
The police said Friday that their inquiries continue.
The New Zealand Herald is reporting the sale involved a $2000 pair of shoes, and according to a friend of the victim, two men travelled to the park to meet a seller they had connected with online.
When they arrived, three people in masks confronted the pair, demanded money, and reportedly shot the victim when they refused, fleeing with mobile phones and other belongings.
