Police appeal over gang rape of girls at horse fair

BRITISH police in Cumberland are to appeal for information tonight on BBC TV’s Crimewatch programme about the gang rape of three teenage girls at last year’s Appleby Horse Fair.

Police suspect Irish Travellers who were attending the fair may be able to help them in the investigation.

Tonight, detectives will appear on the long-running show and appeal to the public to help them track down the teenage gang who raped the girls.
