Wellington pack rape allegations unfounded - police

Police say an alleged pack rape in the Wellington suburb of Newtown on Sunday did not happen and have referred the 15-year-old female complainant to Youth Aid.

The girl had alleged she had been raped by five men she had seen sitting outside a McDonald's restaurant.

She claimed to have been followed into a nearby house under construction and raped.

"We have spoken to a number of people, including four youths, and undertaken significant scene enquiries," Detective Inspector Garry Knowles of Wellington CIB said in a statement.

"We are satisfied that the allegations as made to police are unfounded."

The investigation involved 25 police staff.
