Counties Manukau CIB Detective Inspector Warrick Adkin said, “this incident took place at lunchtime, in broad daylight, and we ask that anyone who might have seen a man acting suspiciously around this time to contact us.
“I would like to acknowledge the hard work by all the Police staff who contributed to the quick identification and arrest of the alleged offender which now puts him before the Court,” Adkin said.
Police launched an investigation and executed a search warrant at the man’s property over the weekend.
Adkin said, “police ensured there was support in place for the victim when she came forward after the incident happened”.
