A woman has been arrested over the kidnapping of an 87-year-old man in Hastings last month.

The elderly man was approached in a Countdown carpark in the suburb of St Leonards on July 28 by a group of offenders who forced him into the backseat of his own car.

He was driven to another Hastings suburb and forced to withdraw a large sum of money from his account.

The 35-year-old woman is due to appear in Hastings District Court today on charges of aggravated robbery and kidnapping.

Anyone with information should contact their local police station or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
