Man arrested on suspicion of rape in Telford
A 32-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of raping a woman at Brookside, Telford during the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday.
Officers are continuing investigations and today appealed for witnesses who may have seen the victim, a woman in her thirties, in a distressed state near the entrance to Bournbrook Gardens in Brookside.
Police Constable Ryan Forster, one of the investigating officers, said: “We are looking for potential witnesses who may have seen a woman on her own near to the entrance of Bournbrook Gardens who possibly appeared distressed.
“There is a bus stop opposite the location where she was found at around 3am on Monday. It is quite a busy area with traffic passing by, and in particular, a number of taxis”.
He added: “We are urging people to cast their minds back and if they think they might have spotted this woman, to contact CID at Malinsgate police station on 101, quoting the reference number 22ga/32071J/14.”
The suspect has been given police bail with conditions while the investigation continues.
