Officers are trying to identify two people who were running or jogging on the Barrowfields on an evening between November 10 and 14 and may have witnessed suspicious behaviour.

The victim, a woman in her 20s, is being supported by officers. A 46-year-old man from Newquay was arrested on suspicion of rape. He has since been released on police bail.
