Five arrested over rape allegations


24/ 4/2008

FIVE men have been arrested on suspicion of rape as part of Operation Messenger in Oldham.

Police received reports that two 12-year-old girls had been raped at a house in Chadderton yesterday.
 
Officers went to an address on Castleford Street in Chadderton and arrested two 18-year-old men, two 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of rape. All five remain in police custody for questioning.

Greater Manchester Police works in partnership with Oldham Council and Oldham Primary Care Trust to combat the issue of child exploitation in the borough.

A team, known as Messenger, has been set up to work in partnership with children's charity Barnardo's to identify children who are potentially at risk from abuse and formulate a strategy aimed at helping these individuals.

Anyone with any concerns about children being exploited in their area should contact their local police station on 0161 872 5050 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
