DETECTIVES have launched an investigation after an 18-year-old girl claimed she was raped in a Suffolk town.
A public footpath was today cordoned off near Bury Rugby Club as scenes of crime officers hunted for clues following the alleged early morning attack.
And police have focused their appeal for information on two men - said to have been at Club Brazilia in the town before going to a party close to where the alleged attack took place.
A spokesman for Suffolk police said the teenager had said she had been raped sometime between 3.30am and 3.55am today.
Officers have cordoned off an area along a public footpath, which leads from St Botolph's Lane past the rugby pitch, called No Man's Meadow.
