Two people are facing serious charges following an incident in Wesley last night.

The victim had arranged via Facebook marketplace to purchase a vehicle and meet the seller outside an address on Holdsworth Avenue.

Upon arrival, the victim was allegedly assaulted by two people who also demanded he hand over money.

Detective Senior Sergeant Rebecca Kirk, of Auckland City Crime Squad, says the victim was then made to get into the alleged offender’s vehicle and withdraw more money from an ATM in Stoddard Road.
