Officers granted more time to interview suspects and make a 6th arrest for rape in Buckland.

Police were called to Turner Road just before 1am on Sunday 20 September after the victim reported that she had been raped by a man shortly beforehand.

Two 18-year-old men, two 17-year-old boys, and a 16-year-old boy, were arrested on suspicion of rape on Sunday afternoon. They remain in custody at this time following an extension being granted to their detention until Wednesday (23 September) morning for additional questioning.
