The Serious Fraud Office served search warrants on construction industry giant Hawkins today at one of its  major redevelopments in Auckland’s CBD.

Hawkins is working on a $46 million Hobson St Substation redevelopment, on behalf of Transpower and Vector.

The SFO has confirmed it went on site and served search warrants this morning. But it won’t release further details about the nature of its investigation yet.

It was reported workers were sent home as work at the redevelopment was shut down.
