Allegations
of Sexual Abuse in NZ |
|
A 28-year-old New
Plymouth woman was arrested and charged with making a false complaint after
she claimed she had been bashed unconscious by two women and had her car
stolen. Two police officers
spent about 10 hours investigating the complaint before the woman was
arrested and charged. Police said they would
always investigate complaints -- but had better things to do with their time
than to investigate false complaints. Senior Sergeant Allan
Whaley, of New Plymouth, said two officers had been investigating an
complaint of aggravated robbery after the 28-year-old woman claimed her car
was taken about 11.20pm on Thursday. "The owner of the
vehicle had advised police that she was stopped by two young Maori women near
Highlands Intermediate School on Coronation Ave," Mr Whaley said. The complainant alleged
she was knocked unconscious during the theft and had come to at the other end
of Pukekura Park, Fillis St, hours later. The missing car, a
silver Honda Civic sedan, was found in a central city car park yesterday
afternoon. Mr Whaley said the
woman would appear in the New Plymouth District Court on December 22. |
