Police appeal for information following serious assault: Raumanga

The Team from Northland Police

Police are investigating after a woman was seriously assaulted in her Raumanga home last night.

Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Pilmer, Whangārei CIB, says Police were called to the Murdoch Crescent address just after 12am following a report of a person injured.

“The woman sustained moderate injuries during the assault, which left her understandably shaken.
“She was transported to hospital and enquiries are under way to identify and locate the person responsible for the assault,” he says.

A scene guard is in place at the house and nearby residents can expect to see an increased Police presence as our enquiries continue.

Detective Senior Sergeant Pilmer says Police are appealing for any witnesses who may have information to come forward.
“Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious, including any vehicles, in the Murdoch Crescent area between 4pm and 12am yesterday.
“We would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen any vehicle leaving the area at speed between 11.30pm and 12am last night.”

If anyone has information which could assist our enquiries, they’re asked to contact Police and quote file number 251125/6316.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
