Police have arrested a man wanted for allegedly performing an indecent act while inside a vehicle in a central Auckland suburb this week.
Detective senior sergeant Mark Greaves of Auckland City East Police says the arrest was made yesterday, February 14, after information was received from members of the public who recognised the vehicle shown in a photo released to the news media.
“The 32-year-old man is due to appear in the Auckland District Court on February 19 charged with two counts of indecent act. Police wish to thank the public for their help.”
On Friday, Greaves said police were seeking information on a vehicle of interest involved in an indecent act committed in Epsom this week.
Officers had been investigating a complaint about a man’s behaviour towards a young student on the afternoon of February 12.
“We’ve now obtained an image of a vehicle in the Gladwin Road area on Tuesday afternoon,” he says.
“Police would like anyone who saw this vehicle, or has further information concerning it, to contact us.”
The incident occurred at about 3.35pm, when the sole male occupant of the vehicle began doing an act towards the young student walking past on Gladwin Road.
“Fortunately this man did not exit the vehicle, and it was last seen travelling down Lewin Road,” Greaves says.
“Anyone who has information, please contact police.
“I’d also encourage the driver of this vehicle, who knows who they are, to stop delaying the inevitable and come to speak with police.”
People with information can phone police on 105 using the reference number 250212/5501.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
