Girl ‘raped by two teenage boys under bridge’ at holiday caravan park – as police launch probe for suspects

Police have launched a probe for suspects after a girl reported being raped by two teenage boys at a caravan park. 

The ordeal allegedly happened at the Martello Beach Holiday Park in Clacton, Essex, just before 7.30pm on July 19.

The girl said she had been assaulted by two boys under a bridge near to the club house of the park. 

Both boys are described as being in their early teens. One boy is described as having black hair and wearing a white vest and grey shorts with a lime green stripe down the side. 

The other is said to have dark blonde hair and wearing a blue t-shirt with white writing on the bottom at the back, blue shorts, and black flip flops.

Detective Inspector James Hardingham said: ‘I know this incident will cause concern for those living and staying at the park and my team is working around the clock to identify these two boys.

‘The victim and her family are being supported by specialist officers and staff.

‘Over the weekend officers have been carrying out high visibility patrols while plain clothed officers have also been carrying out enquiries like house-to-house and speaking with residents.

‘The boys were seen in the arcade area at around 6.50pm before walking with the victim down Kestral View before going between two caravans, across the car park and to the bridge where we believe the assault to have taken place.

‘I believe there will have been a number of people in the area who will have seen the boys and need anyone with information to contact us.’
