Public warned after suspicious man at Mauao
There were reports of a man suspiciously on the summit of Mauao at Mt Maunganui this week.
Two women were at the summit on Wednesday between 7.30 and 8pm when a man began taking pictures of them on his cellphone, then followed them down the track.
Police received a report on the incident on Thursday morning and were making inquiries.
Senior Sergeant Mike Membery encouraged anyone who has experienced something similar on the mountain on Wednesday night to contact police.
"Police encourage anyone who is ever concerned for their own, or others, safety to contact us immediately," he said in a statement.
"Even if the thing you witnessed is no longer happening, please still call your local station and pass on your information, it could be useful to police in the future."
Contact police on 07 577 4300 or provide information anonymously through Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
