A cold case police team have arrested a man on suspicion of raping two women in Suffolk more than 19 years ago.

The 50-year-old man from Ipswich was arrested in the early hours and was taken to Ipswich Police Station to await questioning.

Police said the first rape, of a 41-year-old woman, took place in the Stoke Park area of Ipswich in September 1986.
