Police want to hear from students who may have witnessed a man attempting to force a teenage girl into a car in Onehunga.
?
The 15-year-old victim was waiting for her mother to pick her up at the bus stop on Beachcroft Ave on July 26, when a man approached her in a car around 4pm.
?
The man, who was unknown to her, stopped his car in front of her then said her mother had sent him to pick her up.
?
She refused to get into the vehicle so the male got out of the car, grabbed her by the arm and tried to force her inside.
?
At the same time, three to four teenage boys ran towards the bus stop and the man jumped back into the car and drove off at speed towards Pleasant St.
?
“We believe the boys may have scared off the man and we’d like to hear from them,” says Detective Sergeant David Paea.
?
“They were aged around 15 and enquiries to locate the teenage witnesses has been unsuccessful.
?
“We’ve been following various lines of enquiry since the incident but the offender hasn’t yet been identified or located.”
?
The offender is described as a male of average build and around 40-years-old. He is believed to have been wearing a dark suit.
?
The vehicle is described as a white, four-door sedan.
