Two teenage boys have been charged with rape following an attack in Hull.

The boys, aged 14, and 16, were arrested in connection with an incident in Princes Avenue, on 3 July.

Humberside Police said both boys had since been charged with rape, false imprisonment, actual bodily harm and suffocation, while the 16-year-old has also been charged with sexual assault and harassment.

The pair have been remanded into custody to appear at Hull Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

The force said a 17-year-old who was also arrested as part of the investigation had been released without charge.
