Operation Hope - Identikit Image Released

Waitakere CIB has released an identikit image of a man who is believed to have been in the vicinity of the Henderson construction site where a 22 year old security guard was murdered last month.

Detective Senior Sergeant Stan Brown says the man was among a group of four males who are known to have been in the area prior to or at the time the body of Charanpreet Singh Dhaliwal was found.

“We would like this man to contact us so that we can establish the identities of all members of the group. The group had earlier been refused admission to the Lovebirds Gentlemen’s Club, a local nightclub operating near the construction site,” he said.

“The manager of the club has told us a group of four young men had attempted to enter the club but they were turned away at the door by another club employee.”

Police have issued the identikit of one of the four males in the group:

The group are all described as being:

Male – Polynesian
Age - between 17 – 20 years
Wearing casual street clothing

“Anyone who has information about the identity of these described males please call the investigation team at 0800 OP HOPE – 0800 674 673 or alternatively call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. We are eager to hear about this identikit male and his associates,” Detective Senior Sergeant Brown said.
