Police say more emails of a 'concerning nature' have been sent to organisations across Auckland today.

Newshub understands one of those affected is Murrays Bay Primary School.

In a statement, police said they were "working to establish the origin of the emails and have yet to establish any threat to any organisation."

They also confirmed they were working with those impacted and "each organisation may respond differently according to their individual circumstances and the information available to them."

The statement also said they would not be releasing details of who had been targeted.

The latest threat comes weeks after over 70 schools, hospitals, places of worship and organisations also received threatening messages across New Zealand. This saw schools evacuated and closed as police investigated.

On November 23 and 24, emails were sent that caused widespread disruption.

Just one week later on December 3, further emails were sent out, with police confirming the threatening emails had been sent to organisations including hospitals and places of worship throughout New Zealand.

At the time, police said they needed help from the public to track down the source of the emails.

"We ask that organisations who receive the emails continue to report them to Police, to assist in our ongoing enquiries to identify the origin of the emails," a police spokesperson said.

"Any threat received will be treated with the appropriate caution however, Police have not established any actual threat at this time."
