Yahoo Xtra News Police investigating the attempted
kidnapping of an 11-year-old boy in Havelock North at the weekend are seeking
public help as they follow up leads. 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. Police were today working through
information and wanted to hear from anyone who may be able to assist. "If anyone in Havelock village
on Saturday afternoon saw anything untoward outside the pet shop then we'd be
more than interested to talk," he told NZPA. 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 especially trained interviewers would talk to the
boy this week. |
