Detectives in Rochdale are appealing for information following a report that a 25-year-old woman was raped in Heywood on Saturday 19 August.
The 25-year-old had been enjoying a night out with a friend and had visited several pubs in Heywood. The last pub they went into was the New Vic pub on Rochdale Road.
The woman left the pub without her friend and it is believed that later that night, the woman was raped.
