New Zealand police plan to search media outlets (AP)

WELLINGTON, New Zealand ? New Zealand police plan to execute search warrants on media outlets as they investigate a claim from Prime Minister John Key that he was illegally recorded.

The action comes nine days before the country's general election.

Freelance cameraman Brad Ambrose claims he inadvertently recorded Key with a political ally. Key claims the recording was deliberate.

The recording has not been made public, and it's unclear how many outlets have it. Key's opponents say it should be released.

Television New Zealand and Radio New Zealand reported Thursday they have been approached by police seeking unpublished material. Radio New Zealand says it won't hand it over.

Police spokeswoman Kaye Calder said search warrants will be issued at outlets that don't comply.
