Police in Hamilton are investigating reports of a foetus being found in toilets at a shopping mall.
"At this stage we are working to gain certainty about the events, and clarify if in fact that a foetus was found, as physical searches have not found any evidence consistent with a foetus," said Detective Inspector Chris Page.
The find was reportedly made yesterday in toilets at a shop at the Base in Te Rapa.
Early inquiries had revealed a child with a bleeding nose also reportedly went into the toilets.
Police were trying to determine if there was any connection between the reports.
