Police have renewed their appeal for witnesses after an alleged rape on the Hoe at the weekend.

Two men have been arrested following an alleged rape on Plymouth Hoe in the early hours of July 12, and investigators are keen to talk to a woman who might have been in the area.

The alleged incident happened at about 3am on the Sunday morning (July 19), and Devon and Cornwall Police have issued an urgent appeal for information.

No specific location has been released by investigators at this stage other then to say it happened "at Plymouth Hoe".

Detectives say they are particularly keen to speak to a woman who is understood to have approached the alleged victim to inquire about her welfare, and are urging her to come forward.

At this stage, investigators have not given any details as to where or what time the woman approached the alleged victim, nor any description of her.

However the force has confirmed that two young men have been arrested on suspicion of rape - a 24-year-old man from Emsworth in Hampshire and a 22-year-old man from Plymouth.

Both men were taken to Charles Cross police station for questioning before being released on police bail until Monday, August 10.

A police spokesperson said: "Anyone who witnessed the incident, or has any information which could assist police enquiries, is asked to call police on 101 or email 101@dc.police.uk quoting Operation Frostleaf."
