Attribute to Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Wescott:

A man has been arrested and charged following unexplained injuries to a baby in Hutt Valley.

Yesterday at around 8am Police were called to an address in Avalon after a report of a disorder.

Upon arrival, officers were made aware of a baby who had allegedly been intentionally injured.

They were transported to hospital by ambulance in a serious condition.

It was smiles, not tears, at the departure gate as Police reunited a German tourist with his stolen belongings.

A car break-in earlier this week threatened a sour-end to the tourist’s trip down under.

On 19 November, he reported to the front counter at the Auckland Central Police Base on Federal Street.

“At some point during the previous night the tourist’s rental car parked on Crummer Road, Grey Lynn was broken into,” Inspector Grae Anderson, Auckland Central Area Commander says.
