5 May 2021
Late in March, a 21-year-old told Police he was flagged down about 10pm by a stranded motorist.
He says he was then assaulted and robbed of his backpack and contents.
But, Police have now found out the pair knew each other -- and pre-arranged the meeting, which was actually at a Coronet Park carpark.
The arrested man is due to appear in Queenstown District Court on Monday.
The victim is expected to be charged with making a false statement to Police.
