Police have arrested a man after he allegedly forced an elderly man out of his vehicle and stole it.

Just before lunchtime, a man arrived at a house on Wyllie Road in Papatoetoe and attempted to open the front door.

Senior Sergeant Steve Albrey, Counties Manukau West Response Manager, says he was unsuccessful and left.

“He walked towards a neighbouring driveway where a woman was driving out in her vehicle.

“The man allegedly pointed a spear gun at the woman but fortunately she locked her doors and quickly drove away from the scene.”
