TV appeal helps police

The teenager was dumped near the Hilton hotel

Police investigating the rape of a 16-year-old girl have received more than 100 leads after an appeal on the BBC Crimewatch programme.

The programme recounted how the teenager was kidnapped in Coventry in July and raped in the back of a car after it was driven to Leicester's Fosse Park.

The teenager was sexually attacked and left near a hotel not far from the park.

Detectives from Warwickshire Police say the calls, which included names, details and sightings, will take days to follow up.

The girl was abducted in the Stoke area of Coventry on 23 July and then raped twice before being dumped.

The attack featured on Crimewatch on BBC 1 on 18 December.

The man who raped the girl was described as having dark, collar length hair, in his mid-20s, and was scruffy and spotty while the driver is believed to be in his 40s with short grey, thinning hair.

Officers believe the two men are friends from the Leicestershire area.
