Operation Brussels: Search for source of witch costume
Operation Brussels: Search for source of witch costume
Wellington
Police have released a picture of a witch costume taken in
2011 and are trying to source identical costumes of the same
age.
The witch's hat and cape were most likely bought in Wellington for Halloween in October 2011. Police would like to hear from anyone who may still have an identical costume that was purchased in Wellington at this time.
Detective
Senior Sergeant John van den Heuvel says "I don't for one
minute suggest Mei's killer wore a witch's costume as part
of a disguise, however for reasons that I cannot disclose it
is important that we locate similar costumes."
"We know,
of course, that these costumes are massed produced, imported
and sold widely throughout New Zealand. As shown in the
picture provided, the particular costume we're interested
has black wispy hair strands attached to the inner rim of
the hat."
"If you still have a costume like this and remember where and when it was purchased please call the Operation Brussels team directly on 0800 348 348 or by emailing operationbrussels@police.govt.nz".
Information can also be provided anonymously by contacting the Crimestoppers organisation 0800 555 111.
