A 24-year-old man was arrested after police received an allegation of rape from a 20-year-old woman attending the Latitude Festival at Henham Park near Southwold.

Police were alerted around 7am on Sunday morning. The incident is alleged to have happened inside a tent on the staff campsite and the area was been cordoned off for investigations.
