Police inquiry into Wanaka sex attack

Police are investigating after a woman was sexually attacked in a Wanaka bar overnight.

The 22-year-old, who was a visitor to Wanaka, told police the incident happened in the female toilets in Mint Bar, on Brownston St, in the early hours of this morning.

Police were keen to speak with a young, Caucasian man who was seen in the toilets during the evening, Detective Dave Evans said.

Anyone who was at the Mint Bar on the Monday evening or the following morning who saw any suspicious behaviour involving a man in or around the toilets was also asked to contact police.
