Police are considering whether to take further action against two young women who appear to have made up claims they were abducted in Auckland.

The 18 and 19-year-olds told police they were snatched from Queen St and shoved into a van early on Saturday morning before being released in Greenlane.

They've since amended their story, and police are no longer investigating.

Detective Sergeant Tony McKenzie said it's disappointing when matters are misrepresented to police, but officers will always be committed to following up on such reports.
