POLICE are continuing to investigate two rapes and have appealed again for people with information to come forward.

Firstly, at around 4pm on Sunday, July 18, a 15-year-old girl was playing with a ball when it landed in front of a teenage boy in the sea near to the Oceanarium in Bournemouth.

The boy eventually threw the ball back to one of the group and then began talking to the victim, before pulling her out deeper into the sea where it is reported that he raped her.

The offender told the victim that he was 17 years old, he was from Birmingham and his name was 'Dabby'. He is described as possibly of Asian descent and with tanned skin, around five feet six inches tall and of a thin but muscular build with short dark hair.

Secondly, at around 2am on Saturday, September 4, a woman aged in her 40s met a man on a bench near Slug & Lettuce in the High Street,Poole, before walking him toward Baiter Park where he raped her.

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: “With the Bournemouth beach investigation we are continuing to explore a number of lines of enquiry and there have been no arrests at this time.

“In relation to the Baiter Park investigation, again detectives are continuing to carry out enquiries and there have been no arrests at this time.

“We would continue to appeal for anyone with information relating to either incident to please contact us.”
