Schoolgirls aged 14 and 15 'raped after being approached at McDonald's'

Two schoolgirls, aged 14 and 15, were reportedly raped after being approached outside a McDonald's as police hunt for her attackers.

Officers say two men are believed to have gone up to the two teenagers outside the McDonald's on Queen's Road in Nuneaton, near Birmingham, on Saturday evening.

Police understand that one of the victims was raped by the first man in Riversley Park sometime between 7pm and 8pm.

As reported by the Mirror, the other victim is believed to have been raped sometime between 7pm and 10pm by the second man in Jubilee Park.

A police statement read: "The first man is described as white, around 5ft 5ins in height, of skinny build, with tanned skin, straight black hair, and some facial hair, but not a full beard. He was described as wearing a black cap, black trousers, black puffer coat, and had pierced ears with diamond stud earrings.

"The second man is described as white, around 5ft 5ins in height, of skinny build, with pale skin and short black curly hair. He was believed to be wearing a black puffa coat, black Adidas tracksuit bottoms and white trainers."

Detective Inspector Paul Sartoris said: "These were shocking incidents and were devastating for both victims who are being supported by specially trained officers. While no arrests have been made, a full investigation is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding these incidents, which I recognise will cause great concern in the community.

"The public can expect to see a heightened police presence in and around Nuneaton town centre while officers continue to conduct their enquiries. We have also increased patrols and two scene guards will remain in place over the coming days.

"I would urge anyone who may have witnessed either incident, seen the girls and/or the two men that fit the above descriptions to please get in touch as any information you may have could really help with our investigation. I would also urge anyone with dashcam footage who may have been driving close to Jubilee Park between 7pm and 10pm, or Riversley Park between 7pm and 8pm yesterday evening to also make contact with us."

Anyone with information should make a report online, call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Quote incident numbers 326 (Riversley Park) or 363 (Jubilee Park) of 15 April 2023.
