Police Investigate Series Of Drug Rapes

Police want to hear from the alleged victims of a spate of reported drug rapes in the Taranaki region.

Seven women in less than a week have told a New Plymouth counselling centre they were raped after being drugged at venues in Stratford and New Plymouth.

The Safer Centre believes a gang of men may be behind the attacks, but police say they've not received any formal complaints.

Officers are also warning people not to leave their drinks unattended when they're out socialising.
