Police investigating a serious assault in Matangi are asking the public for help in identifying the offenders.

Two people were trying to speak to the occupants in a dark-coloured Ford Falcon last night that were doing noisy burnouts in the semi-rural area. Three occupants got out and assaulted the victims.

The victims have sustained serious injuries, requiring hospital treatment.

This was a cowardly attack, and Police urge members of the public that recognise these people to get in touch now.

If you witnessed the incident, have CCTV footage or dashcam footage of Marychurch Road around 8pm last night, then please contact Police.

Anyone that has information on the people pictured or details of a dark-coloured Ford Falcon should contact 105 either over phone or online by clicking ‘Update Report’. Please use file number 260301/0526. 

You can also provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
