Police officers have been filmed visiting ex-Green MP Golriz Ghahraman's home on Tuesday after she announced she was resigning from Parliament.

Ghahraman, who first entered politics in 2017, stood aside from her portfolios last week after allegations emerged she had shoplifted from Scotties in the Auckland suburb of Ponsonby on December 23.

Two more accusations have since emerged - including a second alleged incident at Scotties and a third at Wellington store Cre8iveworx.

In a statement earlier on Tuesday, Ghahraman announced she was quitting Parliament, and said: "My mental health is being badly affected by the stresses relating to my work. This has led me to act in ways that are completely out of character."

Two Police officers were filmed knocking on the door of her Auckland house on Tuesday afternoon - one holding a large red folder.

No one was filmed answering the door, and the officers left shortly afterwards.

Police told Newshub "our investigations remain ongoing at this time".
