TWO men arrested following the alleged rape of a teenage girl in Runcorn have been released on bail, pending further enquiries.

The suspects, aged 20 and 22, from Runcorn, were taken into custody after a 16-year-old girl claimed that she had been raped in a flat above a take away in the old town.

The incident is alleged to have happened on Thursday, September 25.

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: “Both men have been bailed.”
