North Shore Police have arrested a man over alleged indecent assaults against high school students and a staff member in recent months.
Quick reporting meant units quickly caught up with the man in the Milford area last week.
Relieving Waitematā East Area Commander Mike Rickards says the staff member was on duty on the afternoon of 16 February, outside the school.
“A man has allegedly indecently assaulted the teacher before she confronted him,” he says.
“The alarm has been raised when other teachers saw this confrontation and immediately contacted 111.
“Our units responded urgently into the area, locating a man in the vicinity.”
The 64-year-old west Auckland man was soon arrested.
Inspector Rickards says the man has been charged with doing an indecent act.
Monday’s arrest resulted in enquiries progressing into a series of similar events on 11 November 2025.
“An extensive investigation was carried out to identify a man who had allegedly carried out similar behaviour, directed towards several high school students on the same day,” Inspector Rickards says.
Those enquiries were unable to locate the man responsible at the time.
On Friday, detectives from Waitematā East CIB laid two additional indecent assault charges against this man.
He has also been charged with assault over a separate incident allegedly involving an elderly woman at St Lukes, also in November 2025.
Inspector Rickards says: “I want to directly acknowledge the school community despite these awful events.
“The students did the right thing at the end of last year and reported the offending, this information informed the school network so on Monday staff sprang into action.”
The 64-year-old man has appeared in the North Shore District, and will reappear on new charges on 27 February.
