Police are hunting an "extremely dangerous" man wanted in connection with the alleged abduction and sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl in Auckland.
Murray Edward Thomas Robertson, 62, is wanted by police for charges of abduction for sex and unlawful sexual connection with a female over 16.
Roberton is alleged to have forced the victim into a vehicle and sexually violated her at the New World Mt Roskill carpark, at 4pm on Friday.
Another man, whose identity is unknown, held the woman down inside the car while the pair drove the girl a few blocks away to Roseman Ave and sexually violated her.
The girl managed to escape the vehicle and sought help from members of the public, who phoned police.
Robertson is understood to drive a silver-grey coloured Mazda MPV with the registration HTW761 and has links to the south Auckland and Bay of Plenty areas.
His last sighting was at a petrol station in Tauranga.
Police asked anyone who sees Robertson to phone 111.
Officers are also investigating a second sexual attack in Blockhouse Bay on Sunday evening, which also involved two males.
Police were still trying to establish the circumstances of the attack, but Detective Inspector Scott Beard said he believed the two assaults were linked due to the proximity and nature of the attacks.
The victims in both matters were said to be "understandably traumatised", and police urged anyone with information on either incidents to some forward.
The victims were being supported by police and Auckland Sexual Help.
Inspector Beard said Robertson was "extremely dangerous" and needed to be tracked down before he claimed new victims.
"These are very serious crimes and police have a number of officers working on the investigations.
"We have two victims, who are extremely traumatised and we don't want another one."
Anyone with information could phone the Auckland City Crime Squad on 09 302 6557, phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or private message police on Facebook.
