Auckland City CIB staff are no longer pursuing the investigation into the reported kidnapping of two young women from the city centre early Saturday morning.

Several further inquiries carried out yesterday have resulted in the young women amending their version of events and the matter is no longer under investigation.

Police treat all reports of crime seriously and investigate such matters thoroughly in order to ensure potential offenders are located as soon as possible and to reassure the public that such events are appropriately dealt with.

Detective Sergeant Tony McKenzie says it's disappointing when matters are misrepresented to Police but officers are committed to following up on such reports.

"We are relieved to know the young women did not suffer any harm at the end of their night out but remind everyone who makes a 111 call that they will be treated seriously and our staff will commit time and resources to investigate such claims.

"The young women have been reminded of their responsibilities and we are considering whether any further action with regards to them is necessary."
