Detective Sergeant Orr says the offender is described as a New Zealand European, aged about 50 of medium build with brownish hair, bright blue eyes and crooked yellowing teeth.

"He was wearing jeans, faded brown sandals, a black hooded top and a faded grey baseball cap woth the word GREGG written in red across the front. He was also carrying a dirty black backpack."

Detective Sergeant Orr says anyone who can assist Police with their enquiries should phone Upper Hutt Police on (04) 527 2300 or phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
