Men questioned over rape
A second man has been arrested by detectives investigating the abduction and rape of a 16-year-old Coventry girl.

The 45-year-old was held in Braunstone, Leicester, on Thursday evening.

Another man, 35, also from Braunstone, was detained earlier in the day.

The arrests follow an incident on 23 July when a teenager was dragged off a street and raped twice in the back of a car.

Her ordeal began in Heath Road, Stoke, Coventry, at about 2330 BST and ended when she was dumped outside the Hilton Hotel, near Fosse Park, Leicester, two hours later.

West Midlands Police said they had acted on information received after the release of an e-fit image of one of the offenders.

Both men are in custody in Coventry and were due to be questioned on Friday.
