Kidnapping fiction

Police in Havelock North in Hawke's Bay say the reported kidnapping of a boy did not happen.

An 11-year old boy told officers that a man grabbed him outside a pet shop and tried to force him into a car on Saturday afternoon. However, police say there were inconsistencies in his version of events and while he may have seen a man fitting the description he gave, there was no kidnapping.

Police will not be taking any further action.
