Warwickshire Police have issued detailed descriptions of three men they wish to speak to in connection with the sexual assault of a young man in Nuneaton. The attack took place near the bridge over the A444, close to Bermuda Leisure Park, at approximately 1am on Wednesday, August 5.
Detectives confirmed that the victim was assaulted by three suspects, all of whom are believed to have been wearing black clothing, including gloves, full-face masks, and black jogging bottoms. The descriptions provided by officers are as follows:
- One man is roughly 5ft 10in tall and of a large build.
- The second man is slim and approximately 6ft 2in tall.
- The third man stands around 5ft 8in tall and is of medium build.
It is also understood that one of the men was wearing black and white trainers, possibly Nike Air Force 1s, while another was noted as having blue eyes.
Police appeal for information
A Warwickshire Police spokesman said: "We are continuing to investigate this attack, and specialist officers are supporting the victim. We would also like to take this chance to remind everyone that when someone has been through such a traumatic event, they may struggle to give detailed descriptions of suspects."
The spokesman added: "It is a normal response to severe trauma. When leaving comments that are critical of that description, we would ask that people consider the impact that those comments might have should victims see them."
Ongoing investigation and community support
Detectives are working around the clock to identify the three men, and the local policing team remains in the area. The spokesman urged anyone with concerns or information to approach officers directly.
"Please come and talk to them if you have any concerns or information that could help our investigation," he said.
