As a follow-up to my July 9th posting concerning the July 8th assault and robbery of two French hitchhikers in the Papamoa area south out of Mount Maunganui near Te
Maunga when the two victims were picked up by a vehicle with two male
occupants, two suspects, ages 24 and 26, were arrested yesterday.
COMMENT: The two Frenchmen were subsequently driven to the rear of the abandoned service station where they were beaten up and robbed of their packs, clothing, passports, cash and money cards.
The two defendants will appear in the Tauranga District Court on Wednesday (July 18), at which point this report will be updated.
