Manager Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Sheridan:
Police
have arrested two young people in relation to the assault on
Bath Street, Levin yesterday evening which left a
90-year-old woman with serious injuries.
A third person,
who we believe can help with our enquiries, is still being
sought.
The two young people will be appearing in the
Levin Youth Court tomorrow charged with Aggravated
Robbery.
Further charges may be considered.
We are
pleased to have been able to make swift arrests to provide
reassurance to the victim, her family and the wider
community, who are understandably shaken by this
incident.
We are still asking anyone with information to
come forward and speak with Police.
You can do this by
phoning 105 and quoting file number 191103/1009, or speak to
us anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555
111.

Gordon Campbell: On The Eruption And Tourism Safety
Adventure tourism is a central theme in New Zealand tourism, and by definition, adventure always includes a certain level of risk. That said, New Zealand itself is also at risk of being seen as a tourism destination where commercial factors – rather than safety factors – are routinely allowed to determine the point where the boundary line of acceptable risk is being drawn.
