Further remand for assault accused

One of the two men accused of indecently assaulting two girls on the Mount Main Beach on January 2, has been further remanded following a brief court appearance this week.

Pradeep Jain, 21, is facing two counts of indecent assault and appeared before a Tauranga District Court registrar this week.

He will next appear on the Registrar's List on February 9.

Harpreet Mavai is accused of a single indecent assault, and is on bail until his appearance before a District Court registrar on January 27.

Police say two teenage girls were approached by four men around 12.30am on Mount Main Beach and were indecently assaulted on the beach between Pacific Ave and Banks Ave.

The females flagged down a passing patrol car and reported the incident.

Two of the men were subsequently arrested, says a police spokesperson.

Two others were being spoken to by police.

Could not agree more with you more. If someone from overseas offends in this country then that person and any related family they have living in this country should be returned to their country of origin. Cheaper than paying for them to sit in jail.
