A group of men have been arrested following the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl in a car park on Saturday night.
Police are now investigating the reported rape, as well as the sexual assault of another teenage girl who was part of the same group, also said to have happened in the car park in Weybridge, Surrey.
Four men - aged between 40 and 62 - have been detained as Surrey Police continue to investigate.
However the force denied claims the girls were victims of a trafficking or grooming gang.
The youngsters are said to have been found when a relative pinpointed their location from the GPS signal of a mobile phone after becoming concerned about them being late home.
