Girl, 17, pulled into ute while walking in Northland
A 17-year-old girl was pulled into a black ute in Northland but managed to escape by fleeing the car while it was still moving.
Detective Senior Sergeant John Clayton said the woman was forced into the vehicle as she walked along Manapouri Rd at the junction with Corks Rd, in Tikipunga, at around 1pm on Sunday. The girl was able to free herself and escaped from the vehicle whilst it was still moving.
A driver who witnessed the incident stopped to help the young girl and police would like to hear from this driver. Clayton said police believed the same black ute may have been involved in another incident outside Tikipunga shops, at the intersection of Kiripaka and Spedding Rds. The ute may have received minor damage, later the same day.
A man has been arrested and charged in relation to the first incident but police want to hear from anyone who has information about either incident. Read more here.
Anyone with information can contact Detective Bradshaw at Whangarei Police on (09) 430 4500 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
