A woman was raped in the churchyard at St Luke’s early on Monday morning, and police have arrested a 34-year-old man.

The man is helping police with their inquiries in relation to the attack, which took place between 2 am and 3 am on Monday morning.

Police say that the man was arrested at 8.45 pm last night, and they have asked for anyone who saw anything to get in touch with them.
