Man to appear in court after home invasion

A 20-year-old Howick man will appear in Manukau District Court today in connection with an Auckland home invasion last month.

The man has been charged with being an accessory after the fact after an Asian family was held hostage in their Pakuranga home on September 10.

Three men posing as policemen forced their way into the house and held the family at gunpoint.

Police are still trying to locate the three main offenders. They would like to talk to Floyd James Te Tai and Neil Kevin Paul in connection with their inquiries.

A 19-year-old man appeared in Manukau District Court on September 23 facing charges of kidnapping and aggravated robbery.
