Police have launched a manhunt after a teenage girl was raped by a group of men while walking in a wooded area in Slough, Berkshire.

Sky News reports that the 17-year-old was attacked while she was walking close to the Jubilee River on Friday evening.

The girl is said to have met with a group of men on her way to the High Street. She talked to one and walked with him to an off licence before heading along a footpath near the river.

Four men, who had been part of the group earlier, then arrived in a silver car. Soon after this, the alleged rape took place.

Detective Inspector Nicola Hurdley said: “We are still speaking with the girl at this time, to get a full picture of what has happened, but what we do know is that while she was in this wooded area she has been raped by several of the men”.

The officer explained: “Right now our investigation is focused on identifying the men involved and gathering information about their whereabouts… All the men are described as being Asian”.
