Can you help identify this man?

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a man following an indecent assault aboard a bus in Grey Lynn.

This incident occurred just after 8am on bus 18 travelling along Great North Road.

Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Friend, of Auckland City Crime Squad, says a man got on the bus at a stop near King Street.

“He has sat down next to a high school student and touched her inappropriately.

“This was witnessed by a passenger who quickly intervened and stopped what was taking place.

“This man was told to get off the bus and exited at a stop near the intersection with Maidstone Street.”

Police acknowledge the actions of a witness aboard the bus.

“The witness did an incredible job in coming to the assistance of the student,” Detective Senior Sergeant Friend says.

“We are aware that the witness and another passenger supported the girl and walked her safely to school.

“Our witness has also obtained a photo of the man we would like to speak with, which Police is releasing to the public.”

Appropriate welfare support is being put in place for the student following this morning’s incident.

Police is confident the public will know who this man is.

Anyone with information should contact Police, Detective Senior Sergeant Friend says.

You can update Police online now or call 105 using the reference number 250312/9531.

Is your electorate changing?

Electoral Commission

The Representation Commission is adjusting the electorate boundaries for the next general election. These changes are all about balance, and make sure each electorate has about the same number of people. That way, all New Zealanders are equally represented in Parliament. If we move an electorate boundary, you could end up in a different electorate to the one you’re in now. So we show you what we’re proposing before any changes are made and give you the chance to share your thoughts. Have your say at vote.nz Find out more

Poll: Would a new supermarket help NZ?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nicola Willis will this weekend announce decisions taken by Cabinet to incentivise and encourage a third supermarket player alongside FoodStuffs and Progressive (Woolworths).

Do you think having a third supermarket chain will bring competition and lower grocery prices, or will the existing giants still dominate?
