Police investigating attempted kidnapping

Police are pursuing several leads after the attempted kidnapping of an 11-year-old boy in Havelock North.

The boy had just left a 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.

Police say the boy kicked the man in the shins and ran off.

The man is described as dark-skinned and was driving a bronze/tan coloured 1980s square-shaped saloon with a dent in the left front bumper.
