Detectives have shut down an investigation into the reported rape of a 13-year-old girl.

The teen was found in the park behind the War Memorial in Totton last Friday (March 14), police said last weekend.

But no offender has been identified, and officers have not been able to locate where the attack happened.

They have now decided to close the case and take no further action.

Police stepped up patrols in the town, going door-to-door and locating "a large amount of CCTV" in a bid to identify the perpetrator.

They also spoke to witnesses able to "share valuable information", according to Detective Inspector Claire Shawley, who led the investigation.

She said: "I know the community have been extremely concerned after two reports of a rape happening in the town were received in the space of two weeks.

"We have been working hard to conduct a full and thorough investigation of each, in order to understand the circumstances and identify any offenders.

"Our investigation team has acted swiftly, quickly locating a large amount of CCTV to help us put a comprehensive timeline of events together for the incident reported on March 14, and identifying witnesses who have been able to share valuable information.

"Having spoken to those witnesses and reviewed all the available CCTV to us, we have not identified any offender or a location where this reported incident would have happened.

"Based on that, we are taking no further action at this time. The girl will continue to be supported.

"Our local neighbourhood policing teams will continue to conduct patrols in the town, so please do speak to them if you have any concerns."

Police said the decision came after a "full review of all the evidence available to us", but that the girl continues to be supported.

The teen was left in the park, off Testwood Lane, last Friday evening.

Officers had said the incident took place somewhere in Totton between 6.20pm and 8.30pm.

A crime scene was set up in the park, with a large area of grass as well as the bridge over the pond being cordoned off.

Hampshire Constabulary confirmed the separate investigation into the rape of a 15-year-old girl in Beaumont Road on March 1 continue.

Det Insp Shawley said: "I want to thank everyone who has come forward with information in relation to this investigation, your help and concern is greatly appreciated.

"We are now following up a number of lines of enquiry after a description of the man we want to identify was shared earlier this week."
