Police seek information on Hawke’s Bay man on rape, kidnapping charges

  • March 24, 2026

Police have asked anyone who may have information on any other alleged offending by the man to come forward, said Whiu.

The offending may have occurred in the Hastings area around March 14-15 this year.

“We know it can be incredibly difficult and at times distressing to talk about these matters, but we would like to reassure any victims of offending that we will take them seriously,” Whiu said.

“Police has a number of officers and detectives dedicated to these cases and we provide a safe space to report offending in confidence.”

Police would make arrangements to talk in an appropriate and safe way.

Whiu said police can be contacted online at 105.police.govt.nz or by calling 105, referencing file number 260316/3776.
