Please attribute to Detective Sergeant Rachael Casbolt:
Information from Police Ten 7 and the public has resulted in the arrest of a man charged with an alleged indecent assault in Pine Avenue, Upper Hutt.
A man was arrested yesterday by Wellington District Crime Squad officers after detectives and the victim appealed for public help through Police Ten 7 last week.
The victim has been advised of the arrest.
Police thank the Police Ten 7 programme and the public for their help.
We know that people were concerned, but viewers and the public were motivated to help us. There was a great response from Police Ten 7 as the case was also shared extensively on social media.
This willingness of people to help is a fantastic example of Police and communities working together.
No further comment will be provided as the case is now before the court.
