Epsom Rape Investigation Closed

The investigation's closure follows weeks of tension in the Surrey town, where protesters targeted migrant hotels based on rumors about the alleged suspects.

Detectives stated they are 'confident no offence took place' after reviewing forensic evidence and CCTV footage from the night of the incident.

Five individuals, including a 15-year-old boy, have been arrested for their roles in the subsequent violent disorder.

Police have condemned the 'shameful' behavior of those who used the false report to incite racial hatred and vandalism.
