Police are appealing for witnesses as they continue to investigate the incident in which shots were fired at Police in Manawatū and Horowhenua on January 4. We are piecing together a timeline of events and believe there are still members of the public with information which would be valuable to the investigation, Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Thompson said. We are specifically interested in speaking with people who saw two vehicles being driven erratically.
The first was a Silver Mitsubishi sedan in the Foxton township and the second was a green Mazda Demio which travelled from Foxton before carrying on to the Feilding area.
He was removed from his car and taken to Palmerston North Hospital in a serious condition. Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Thompson said the woman who was in the hijacked car handled herself well and Victim Support was helping her, but repercussions were ongoing. Her vehicle was damaged beyond repair and not insured, he said.
