Thames-Coromandel District Council says it is still investigating an incident last week where five dogs attacked a woman, leaving her in a serious condition.
The incident took place on May 22, with police saying they were notified of an incident involving a dog on Tairua’s Main Rd at 9.03am.
Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust attended the incident alongside Hato Hone St John and Fire and Emergency New Zealand. They said the woman in her 60s had received multiple injuries and was airlifted to Waikato Hospital.
Police said they had since spoken with the victim and had referred the matter to the council.
This week, Hauraki-Coromandel Post asked the council for an update on the investigation, including if any dogs had been retrieved, if so were they were microchipped, if anyone had been prosecuted and if any of the dogs were put down.
