Police are seeking sightings of a 1998 blue Volkswagen Polo hatchback, registration CYJ547 that was stolen after a vicious and unprovoked attack in Pt Chevalier, Auckland last night.
At approximately 7 p.m. on Monday 17 July, a 55-year-old woman walked from her house to her car to buy takeaways for dinner and found two men attempting to break into her neighbour’s car.
Upon being disturbed, the two men have punched and kicked the woman until she became unconscious. The woman’s daughter tried to come to her mother’s aid and was also assaulted.
The offenders have then stolen the woman’s keys and her car.
Police located the vehicle at approximately 9.30 a.m. this morning in Mt Albert and has appealed to the public for any sighting of the car which fled from Sutherland Road in Pt Chevalier last night round 7 p.m.
“This was a completely unprovoked attack on innocent members of the public. Both victims have been traumatised by the events and police need your help to catch these violent criminals before they hurt anyone else,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Glenn Baldwin.
They are described as two males, possibly in their early to mid 20’s, Polynesian or Maori and of stocky build. One of them was described as having very short black hair, possibly shaved and was wearing a long sleeve white t-shirt and dark pants with black Nike shoes.
The second offender was wearing a blue windbreaker style jacket with a hood and black pants.
Police is urging the public to contact us immediately if anyone saw the vehicle between 7 p.m. last night and 9.30 a.m. this morning.
If people have any information that may help lead Police to these offenders, call the Auckland Crime Squad on (09) 302 6557 or alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
