CCTV appeal as part of car park rape investigation

Police hope to identify three men who may be able assist with an ongoing rape investigation.

Two teenage girls travelled with a group of five men from Wakefield to the car park of Barnsley's Locke Park on 14 February 2024, where one of the girls was reportedly raped and the other was sexually assaulted.

South Yorkshire Police said a number of people had access to the vehicle, with the previously arrested owner released with no further action following DNA analysis and descriptions provided by the girls.

Officers have released CCTV images of three men they believe could help with the inquiry and asked anyone who recognised them to get in contact.

Det Con Paul Jones, the officer in charge of the case, said: "We have undertaken a lot of investigative work since this investigation was transferred to us from West Yorkshire Police.

"While these CCTV images are not as clear as we would like, we are hoping that those pictured or someone who knows them will recognise them and contact us to assist us."
