North Shore District Court has been evacuated after it received concerning phone calls and emails on Thursday.

A police spokesperson said the threats were made in the morning and they were working to find if there was any real risk.

They said the court was evacuated as a precaution.

Several schools and courts were evacuated last week after a flurry of threatening emails were send to the organisations.
