Police say some items seized from Parliament's grounds following the anti-mandate protest in Wellington have been destroyed.
Protesters, until last Wednesday, were camped outside Parliament for 23 days pushing for a removal of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate and restrictions.
On March 2, police worked to clear the occupation - resulting in clashes between officers and demonstrators on the Beehive's grounds which then spilled onto the surrounding streets.
In a statement on Wednesday, police said officers removed a range of camping and personal property from the surrounding areas of Parliament last week.
"The property was taken to a holding area where health protection officers from Porirua City Council inspected it for hazards."
As the property was inspected, it was "found to be contaminated with human waste, dirt and hay and was classified as a health nuisance under Section 29 of the Health Act 1956", police said.
The property has since been destroyed.
"Other property from the protest was removed by Wellington City Council and Parliamentary security," police said.
During the chaos last Wednesday, police officers were seen loading protesters' tents and other items seized from Parliament's grounds into skip bins.
