Two teenage boys have been charged with rape following an incident at Newbold Comyn in Leamington Spa at the weekend.

Two 17-year-old boys from Leamington, who cannot be named due to their age, were charged on Sunday (May 11).

They went before magistrates in Coventry earlier today (Monday) and will next appear at Coventry Youth Court on Thursday.

Warwickshire Police has also appealed for witnesses.

The force asked for anyone who spoke to a "distressed young woman" on Saturday, 10 May, to come forward.

She was seen around Newbold Comyn, Jephson Gardens, and the surrounding streets of Leamington between 8pm and 10.15pm.

She is believed to have sought help from members of the public, one of whom took her to the police station.
