Back to News Witness sought following attempted abduction

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Christchurch Police are appealing for a witness to come forward following an attempted abduction in Ilam last week.

At around 5.50am on Friday 21 September, a man tried to abduct a woman jogger at the entrance to Ray Blank Park on Maidstone Road, Ilam.

The woman fought off the man, and a member of the public driving past stopped to help her.

The person who stopped to help then followed the man to a street nearby. Police went to the address and located the man.

The 27-year-old was arrested and has been charged with abduction and assault with intent to injure. He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court on 4 October.

Police are still keen to speak with the person who stopped to assist in this incident. Anyone can get in touch by calling Christchurch Police on (03) 363 7400.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

Surplus vegetables.

My favourite way to use these is in a frittatta. It's so easy to make and even the kids will usually eat it. Mine like cheese. There are heaps of frittatta recipes online.
