UPDATED 2.08PM: Police have responded to three separate incidents of threatening behaviour towards government staff.
Yesterday a 51 year old man was arrested for using threatening language against a Nelson WINZ staff member.
Later a 26 year old man did the same to staff at the Nelson City Council and was arrested.
Both men were later released with a pre-charge warning.
The last incident involved a 46 year old man who threatened to kill staff at the Nelson ACC office.
Senior Sergeant Shane Miles says these actions carry serious consequences and could result in prison time.
