Two people have been arrested following the rape of a woman in Warwick on Friday (July 21).

And Warwickshire Police is looking for a "good Samaritan" who is thought to have helped the victim into a taxi the next morning.

The incident is understood to have happened on Saltisford late on Friday evening.

The following day, the victim – a woman in her 20s - was trying to make her way home around midday when she flagged down and spoke to a member of the public in Wallwin Place.

They are understood to have helped the victim order a taxi and we're particularly keen to speak to them as a witness as they could have key information for the ongoing investigation.

While a 41-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, administering a noxious substance with intent to commit a sexual offence, and possession of a class A drugs.

They have both been released on bail until October.
