A sixth person has been arrested on suspicion of the rape of a woman in Portsmouth.

The 19-year-old victim was attacked in Turner Road, Buckland, shortly before 01:00 BST on Sunday.

Police said they had bailed two men aged 18, two 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy who were held on suspicion of rape on Sunday.

They have all been conditionally bailed until 18 October pending further inquiries.

A sixth person, a 17-year-old boy also arrested on Sunday afternoon on suspicion of rape, has been released from custody without charge but remains under investigation.

Hampshire Police said the woman was approached by two men she did not know as she walked along Lake Road.

The force is appealing for people with CCTV and dashcam footage to come forward.
