Police have two suspects following an carjacking in south Auckland involving a child as young as eight, armed with what was believed to be a toy pistol.
A 57-year-old woman stopped in Franklin Rd in Pukekohe about 9pm on Sunday to buy takeaways, said a police spokeswoman.
As the woman
was eating, a boy, who she thought to be aged between 8 and 11, opened her door and said "get out of the car, b****''.
He was armed with what the woman described as a black ``toy pistol'', said the police spokeswoman. However, the victim said it could have been a real gun: "we can't be sure''.
Another boy, aged 15 or 16, then opened the passenger's door and told her: "get out of the car, b****, we want the car''. He grabbed her handbag, containing cash and credit cards, and ran off.
