Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
Three News Police now believe that an
attempted kidnapping of an 11-year-old boy in Havelock North on Saturday did
not take place. The boy told police a man grabbed
him when he left Animalz pet shop and tried to force him into a car. The boy kicked the man in the
shins and ran off. "The events that allegedly
took place on Saturday appear not to have happened. While the boy may have seen
a man who fitted the description he gave police, we have established that the
attempted kidnap did not take place," Detective Paul Buckley said. There had been some
inconsistencies in the boy's version of events. Staff at the pet shop and the
boy's friends had also been spoken to. Police would not be taking any
further action, Mr Buckley said. |
