    Police investigating a rape in Wigan are appealing for possible drone footage.

    At around 2.15pm on Sunday 18 February, police were called to Amberswood Nature Reserve at the junction of Manchester Road (A577) and Seaman Way to reports that a woman had been raped.

    The woman, who is in her 20s, was walking along a path through a wooded area when she was followed by two men.

    As she turned a corner, two other men were stood in front of her.

    The woman was then raped. She is now being supported by specially trained officers.

    Police believe a member of the public may have been flying a drone in the area at the time and could have inadvertently captured some footage of the incident.
