奥克兰西区最近特别不太平。
11月24日下午，在奥克兰西区Ranui地区，一个男人试图引诱一个放学回家的12岁男孩上车。这已是这一地区近期第三起引诱儿童事件了。
11月17日下午在同一地区，一名11岁男孩被绑架，遭到长达4小时的性侵。
男孩心理创伤过重，无法提供罪犯线索，目前犯罪男子仍然在逃，身份成谜。这件事情发生后，就不断有关于类似事件的报告出现在这一地区。
11月23日早晨，一名11岁女孩等待校车时，一名开着深红色4x4型车的男子试图接近她。女孩拒绝和他说话，尽快跑回了家。
然后又是今天，再有新闻说该地区有大批武装警察聚集，还发生车祸。
希望西区的人们能过一个平静的周末。
周末大家记得复习本周讲过的新闻哦！
