Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
Radio New Zealand The police in Christchurch believe
investigating a false complaint of aggravated robbery made by tourists, would
have cost tens of thousands of dollars. Johan Van de Lande, and Bart Stevens of
the Netherlands and Antonino Salamone
from Italy had claimed they were attacked by armed men while sleeping in
their campervan near Akaroa, earlier this month. But today they admitted making a
false statement, saying they invented the story to explain damage to the van. Detective Sergent
Ross Tarawhiti says the investigation involved
about 100 hours of police work and took resources away from a homicide
inquiry. |
