Horror as woman is ‘raped at seaside resort while walking on the beach’ – with man, 38, arrested for ‘attack’
COPS have launched a probe after a woman was allegedly raped on a famous beach front resort.
The victim, aged in her 30s, was allegedly assaulted on Towan Beach, Newquay, Cornwall.
Devon and Cornwall Police have said the reported attack happened on Sunday March 1 at around 4am.
A 38-year-old man, from Newquay, has been arrested on suspicion of rape.
He has since been bailed, according to the force.
Detective Inspector Chris Donald said: “Our inquiries remain ongoing in relation to this case and we are really keen to identify and speak to a person who may have seen or heard something which may assist our inquiries.
“Through CCTV inquiries we believe a person was finishing on the beach in the early hours of Saturday and I would ask them to get in touch with us.
“I’d also ask that anyone else who was in the area and may have relevant information, to please get in touch.”
