A 16-year-old girl has allegedly been raped at Omaruru by a taxi driver after a night out drinking.

The incident took place in the early hours of Friday morning.

According to the weekend police report that the girl went out drinking with her aunt, and later asked her aunt to be taken home.

She together with her aunt took a taxi, driven by a known man aged 28.

The aunt left the girl in the room, locked the room and went back to the bar with the same taxi.
