False complaint

Police believe a 12-year-old girl made up a story about being abducted in Aranui, Christchurch last month.

A manhunt was launched by police after she claimed a man followed her and tried to drag her into a car in Shortland Street, near Aranui High School.

Detective Dave Joker said yesterday that police were no longer looking for anyone. The girl could face disciplinary action after a family group conference on the matter.
