Police are urging West Auckland residents to stop sharing photos and personal details of a man on social media following reports of multiple abduction attempts.
The warning follows incidents near Massey’s Lincoln Heights School, where a man in a black BMW allegedly tried to force a parent and several students into his car.
The same suspect is believed to have assaulted a 16-year-old girl at Sturges Rd train station earlier in the week.
Waitematā West area commander Inspector Jason Edwards confirmed to media police have arrested a person in connection with an assault in Massey and are investigating the linked reports.
Edwards stressed the importance of reporting information directly to police, warning the public against taking matters into their own hands or sharing unverified social media posts, which could “compromise investigations and safety”.
If you don’t talk about the perp and the identity of the same, how will the ‘community’ know who to avoid or recognise?
Maybe the Cops are protecting someone? Is the perp involved in something more sinister that is being investigated?
Perhaps the person in question is the relative of a Cop, an ex-Cop or a ‘Lodge Brother’?
Maybe something criminal is being planned so that there will be another excuse to take more Firearms away from law-abiding ‘Citizens’…!
Sharing reports among neighbours is part of the Police-encouraged ‘Neighbourhood Watch’.
Criminal intent and activities get reported to the Cops all of the time (ie P-cook-ups in the flat next door, witnessing of stabbings, assaults, rapes, stalking, etc. but nothing seems to ever get actioned or the results reported back by the to the Victims by the Cops…
IF there are arrests, then the Victims are re-victimised by the ‘J3wdicial System’ with Masonic Lawyers flashing secret signs, catch phrases, and tantamount rorts and objections and are even permitted to lie in court and fabricate ‘evidence and testimonies’ from compromised ‘witnesses’.
Talk about the ‘Third Degree’…(of Freemasonry, that is..!)
Police , just do your job and none of this would happen.
Police operate by consent of the public. Not the other way around.
Police need to stop acting like communities sharing awareness is “taking matters into their own hands”.
Multiple kidnapping attempts is an immence risk to the community, getting the word out is totallt justified.
He must be a POC if the Police are this concerned.
Whose going to get him first, the police, or the public.
Well, the police corporation does nothing to arrest individuals who have clearly committed crimes against humanity and therefore they clearly don’t give a hoot about public safety. And the public clearly had enough of those criminals, including those who try to force gene-modifying technology and fluoride poison into our food.
You have to earn respect (and they have lost all of mine), you can’t enforce it by making comments like “warning the public against taking matters into their own hands or sharing unverified social media posts, which could compromise investigations and safety”.
We should have independent Sheriffs, only bound by allegiance to a Constitution, not corporate ‘officers’.
I do like the idea of Sheriffs.
No.
Name and shame, no more automatic name-suppression BS.
If the slime ball is going around the community harassing, assaulting and kidnapping people, then the community have a right to know exactly who he is. He made his choices, he’s earned the consequence.
No more of this “it’s to keep the investigation fair and impartial” bull***t either. We’re tired of that excuse, especially when all your “by the book” investigations just result in a lefty judge invariably letting them off the hook anyways.
If you want people to stop talking about him then arrest, try and convict him. Swiftly. And make sure the punishment is an ACTUAL punishment and not more liberal virtue signaling.
