A few days later, on February 18, a woman was threatened at knifepoint while in her vehicle on Florence Avenue, Ōrewa. A man got into the car, allegedly pulled out a large knife and ordered her to get out.
The victim, who is in her 70s, removed the keys from the ignition and escaped the vehicle, then sought help from a member of the public to call Police. The alleged offender fled the scene on foot.
Enquiries by Police resulted in a man being identified the following day. A 31-year-old man was arrested and charged with assault with intent to rob and appeared on February 22 in the North Shore District Court.
