CORRUPTION investigators have raided a bayside police station during a probe into claims senior officers tried to derail the rape investigation into Saints star Stephen Milne.

Victoria Police Ethical Standards Department officers involved in the swoop on Brighton CIU allegedly discovered that vital evidence relating to the case was missing.

Former detectives Scott Gladman and Mike Smith this week sparked the new probe after claiming other police tried to influence their investigation into a woman's allegation she was raped by Milne at St Kilda teammate Leigh Montagna's home in 2004.

Items allegedly missing from the Milne-Montagna file include:

THE master tape from records of interviews done during the original rape probe.
