Two 14-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of raping of a 12-year-old girl outside a secondary school.

Police received a report at around 7.45pm on Sunday that the girl had been raped in a field outside The Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester, Dorset.

The schoolgirl had met with the two boys earlier in the day before the alleged sex attack, officers said.

Detectives and specially trained officers have spoken with the youngster, officials confirmed.

Meanwhile, a police cordon remains in place at the scene while searches are carried out.
