Taranaki police warn people over drug rape

The police in Taranaki are warning women to take care after a series of alleged drug rapes last weekend.

Rape Crisis in Taranaki says it has been approached about nine such, after two more complaints yesterday.

The police say they are investigating one complaint although it appears unlikely to be a drug rape at this stage.

Another case could not be confirmed.

Even so, Senior Sergeant Mike Hannah in Hawera is urging women to take care.
