Two British men have been arrested in Magaluf on suspicion of raping a teenager.

The attack on the 18-year-old woman, also from the UK, allegedly took place in a tourist apartment at the Spanish island resort at around midnight on Tuesday.

A spokesman for the Guardia Civil said it was believed that the woman had gone with the men – aged 19 and 18 – to the flat where she claims the rape took place. She was taken to hospital and gave a description of the two suspects, who were arrested soon afterwards.

It comes after two British police officers were sent to Mallorca to help police at the resort last week. West Midlands police’s Sgt Brett Williams and PC Martina Anderson have since left the island.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We can confirm the arrest of two British nationals in Spain on 19 August. We are providing consular assistance.”
