Christchurch: Five International Cricket Council's (ICC) laptops were stolen from a facility being used as a base for volunteers in Christchurch on Wednesday.
New Zealand police say the theft of five laptop computers from a guarded Cricket World Cup accreditation center was not a security breach.
Canterbury District Commander Superintendent Gary Knowles told reporters at a news conference the laptops contained "information of a very low level in relation to vetting of volunteers and things".
He added that "the laptops contained no information that could breach security. They will not impact any way here or Australia in terms of security. They are securely password protected".
The laptops were stolen from a building near Hagley Oval where the opening World Cup match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be played on Saturday.
