Crime scene: Tauranga police looking for two sex offenders

Tauranga police are looking for two sex offenders. One man removed his pants and exposed himself to a woman strolling along Cameron Rd at 5.45 pm on Sunday. He was in the grounds of Tauranga Girls' College and continued to walk along in full view of the woman, before driving off in a white utility vehicle with "Sport" written on the side and blue tubular metal machinery on the back. He was described as a Caucasian 1.70 to 1.73m (5ft 7in to 5ft 8in), in his early 30s, wearing a black T-shirt with red trim, brown or green cargo shorts, black jandals and metallic sunglasses.

Last Friday about 10.30 am a woman was walking on the footpath in Devonport Rd, Tauranga, when a male cyclist approached from behind and grabbed her lower buttocks. He was a Caucasian in his late 20s to early 30s, with fair hair and of skinny build with muscular legs.

He was wearing a green T-shirt, shorts, a green cycle helmet and blue backpack and riding a newish red bike.

Anyone with information on either attack should ring Tauranga police on (07) 578-8199.
