An investigation has been launched after a woman was allegedly r@ped in a town centre in the early hours.

Police have arrested a 27-year-old man after the victim was reportedly att@cked in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

The woman, said to be in her 20s, was allegedly targeted between 3am and 3.30am on Sunday.

A row of shops on a local high street was cordoned off the following day as officers combed the area for evidence.

The local police force confirmed that a 27-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of r@pe.

The suspect, from Oxfordshire, remains in custody while investigations into the alleged att@ck continue.

Members of the public with information, or who may have witnessed the incident, are being urged to come forward.

Police said they had arrested a man and were appealing for witnesses after a woman in her 20s reported being r@ped in Nuneaton, adding that the incident occurred between 3am and 3.30am on Sunday.

The woman is currently being supported by specially trained officers, and police said they would maintain a presence in the area over the coming days as the investigation continues.

The 27-year-old suspect from Oxfordshire remains in custody at this time.

The police force has called on potential witnesses to come forward, quoting a specific incident number tied to July 5. Information can also be shared anonymously with a crime-reporting hotline.

This comes as police separately investigate a masked individual who allegedly exposed himself to a woman walking through a cemetery.

The victim was reportedly targeted by the suspect in broad daylight while walking her dog through a graveyard in Southampton, Hampshire. She told officers she was confronted by the man at around 9.30am on June 30.

According to police, the suspect is described as around 5ft 10in tall, of stocky build, with tattoos on his legs.
