Hawke's Bay Police have arrested a Napier man for the indecent assault of a woman last weekend and are investigating possible links to a string of other attacks in recent weeks.
A 29-year-old Napier man was arrested this evening for the indecent assault of a woman in Burns Road last Sunday morning.
"We are continuing to investigate other similar attacks on women around the Hawke's Bay area, and have yet to establish if there are connections between them," said Inspector Dave Greig, Hawke's Bay Area Commander.
These include incidents in public places in the vicinity of Napier Hill, Taradale, and Havelock North over the last few weeks, he said.
The man is due to appear in Hastings District Court tomorrow on a charge of indecent assault.
Anyone with information on the recent assaults, or any other similar incidents, is urged to contact Hawke's Bay CIB on (06) 211 3872 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
