Police pursuing leads in Havelock North kidnapping
NZPA

Police say they are pursuing several leads after the attempted kidnapping of a 11-year-old boy in Havelock North on the weekend.

Detective Paul Buckley of Hastings Police said the boy had just left Animalz pet shop on Napier Road on Saturday afternoon when he was approached by a man who grabbed his arm and tried to drag him into a parked car.

The boy kicked the man in the shins and ran off.

The man was described as dark-skinned, of medium build with straight black hair. He was wearing a pink T-shirt with "porn star" in black lettering.

He was driving a bronze/tan coloured 1980s square-shaped saloon with a dent in the left front bumper.

Mr Buckley said police were pursuing several leads and specially trained interviewers would talk to the boy this week.
