Warwickshire Police have launched an investigation after a teenage girl reported being raped in a toilet at Nuneaton Railway Station.

The incident occurred at around 5.50pm on Sunday 19 January.

The force has said they recognise the incident will cause concern in the local community, but they've begun a full and thorough investigation, which includes studying CCTV footage.

Detective Inspector Owen Fell from Warwickshire Police said: “This is an extremely concerning incident and we’ve launched a thorough enquiry. We’re studying CCTV from the site and other places in the town we believe the victim and suspect visited.  

“We believe they were together in the afternoon before the attack took place, going into at least one pub in the town and to Riversley Park. We’re appealing for anyone who witnessed anything suspicious or concerning to get in touch with us.”

There will be a heightened police presence in the town - with officers around the train station and surrounding area - over the coming days while they continue enquiries.
