Police are still hunting for the man who broke into the bedroom of a 7-year-old girl and indecently assaulted her on September 4.

The girl and her younger sister were asleep in the bedroom of their Oceanview Rd home when the seven-year-old was woken by a stranger in the room.

Detective Sergeant Darryl Brazier said police have a list of possible suspects they are looking into.

The offender was described as a large Maori man in his 30s with earrings in his left ear.

His hair was spiked up in the middle and he was wearing a blue jacket with white stripes, black running shoes and knee-length shorts with a Maori design down both sides.
