Police today arrested three men for the alleged abduction and rape of a woman at Mount Maunganui in 1989.
The alleged offenders will appear in the Tauranga and Napier District Courts this afternoon.
Deputy Commissioner Steve Long said the arrests follow investigations made by Wellington based Police who have worked on the case since April of this year.
Identities of the arrested men would not be disclosed ahead of the first court appearance so that any potential applications for suppression could proceed without prejudice.
