Enquiries continue following Nuneaton rape

Enquiries continue after a teenage girl was raped at Nuneaton Railway Station at the weekend.

The attack occurred at around 5.50pm on Sunday (19 January).

Detective Inspector Owen Fell from Warwickshire Police has provided an update on the investigation: “We have identified three potential suspects. We believe they were in The Felix Holt Weatherspoon’s pub in Stratford Street, Nuneaton between 5.00-5.30pm.

“Members of staff at the pub went into the male toilets to ask them to leave and we’re keen to speak to anyone who witnessed this or anything suspicious in the male toilets around this time.

“I’d like to reassure the wider community that over the past few days we have made progress in our investigations. This is a significant inquiry with detectives checking CCTV from across the town centre for the whole of Sunday afternoon.

“I’d also like to respond to concerns on social media that we have not released a description of the suspects. There are often operational reasons we don’t release this information. We quite often want to follow up other enquiries before releasing descriptions.

“I would like to reassure the public that if there comes a point you can help with our investigation, we will release further information.

“I know this incident has caused a lot of concern in the local community and we have had patrols in the area around the station to provide reassurance. I’d encourage anyone with concerns to speak to one of our officers. 

“Thank you to everyone who has helped with our enquiries so far. We continue to ask for anyone with information that could help with our enquiries to get in touch with us.”
