A TEENAGER arrested on suspicion of the rape of a 21-year-old woman has been released under investigation.
The 18-year-old has been quizzed by detectives after a young woman said she was attacked between some parked cars and a mechanic’s workshop, near the Esso garage, behind The Wicket Gate pub on Front Street in Chester-le-Street.
The alleged rape took place in the early hours of Sunday morning and the suspect was arrested on Tuesday.
A spokesman for Durham Constabulary said: “Enquiries are ongoing.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
