Rape investigation after 13-year-old attacked

Police are trying to track down a teenage boy after a 13-year-old girl reported being raped near a park visitor centre.

West Mercia Police said the attack took place in Telford Town Park at about 19:00 BST in a wooded area.

The boy is described as being between 15 and 18 years old, with short dark hair, wearing a black puffer coat and a grey hoodie with matching joggers.

The force said it believed he was seen at a McDonald's in Telford in the hour before the attack.

Det Insp Paul Drury said specialist officers were supporting the girl.

He added: "We understand how worrying this incident will be for the local community, and I want to reassure residents that we are doing all we can to identify the person responsible."
