Suspicious approach to student in Timaru
Police want to talk to a man who approached a child on their way home from school on Tuesday.
The man, described as a Maori, aged between 25-40 years with a bald head, wearing sunglasses and a black top, was, according to police, driving a vehicle when the child was approached on the corner of Victoria and Queens Sts and spoken to briefly. The child ran away, across King Street, prompting other traffic to beep their horns. The man continued to follow him in his car which is described as having black peeling paint.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the approach or have any information to contact the Timaru Police on (03) 684 6086. Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously by calling CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!
This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.
Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
