Boy made up kidnapping story

Police have put a halt to a kidnapping investigation in the Hawke’s Bay after it was revealed the young boy involved made it up.

Several officers were called into investigate after the 11-year-old told police he was grabbed by a man who then tried to force him into a car.

Havelock North Police spokesperson Kris McGehan says they do come across cases where people fabricate stories but they have to investigate them.
