Teenager “raped by two boys” at caravan holiday park – police launch desperate hunt for suspect

Police are investigating after a teenager reported that she was raped at a campsite.

The horror is said to have taken place on July 19 shortly before 7.30pm at the Martello Beach Holiday Park in Clacton, Essex.

The victim said he was attacked by two teenagers under a bridge near the clubhouse.

The boys are described as young teenagers.

One has black hair and wears a white vest and grey shorts with a vertical light green stripe on the side, white shocks and white sneakers.

The other person is described as someone who has dark blonde hair and is wearing a blue t-shirt with white writing on the back and small white horizontal lines on the arms, blue shorts and black flip-flops.

Detective Inspector James Hardingham said: “I know this incident is causing concern among residents and guests of the park and my team are 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 carried out high-visibility patrols, while plainclothes police also carried out investigations, such as going from house to house and talking to residents.

“The boys were seen in the amusement arcade at around 6.50pm before walking with the victim down Kestral View, between two caravans, across the car park and towards the bridge where we believe the assault took place.

“I believe there are a number of people in the area who have seen the boys. Anyone with information should contact us.”
