Police are seeking sightings of a 2005 red or maroon coloured Mitsubishi Galant which was known to be in the Dublin Street and Wicksteed Street area on 27 March between approximately 11.15pm and 11.40pm.

The driver of the vehicle is described as a Maori male in his early to mid 20s with facial hair and wearing a green hunting top with a hood. The other person sought is believed to be a male.
