Abduction report a false alarm

Update on Police presence in Waikao

Please attribute to Counties Manukau District Manager Investigations Detective Inspector Gary Lendrum:

Yesterday evening, police received information that a woman and her three-month-old child had been abducted.

As a result of some extensive police enquiries and the execution of search warrants in Waikato, it was discovered that the information passed to police was false.

The woman and her child were located this morning in Auckland, safe and well and unaware of the situation or the search for them.

Two men and a woman are now assisting police with their enquiries and we cannot rule out the possibility of charges being laid.
