Police investigating the rape of a 17-year-old girl in Leeds city centre have issued images of three potential witnesses they would like to speak to.

The teenager was attacked on Call Lane in the early hours of Sunday 9 November, according to West Yorkshire Police.

A 34-year-old man was subsequently charged with two counts of rape, along with one charge of kidnap and false imprisonment, and remanded into custody, a force spokesperson said.

Det Insp Hannah Dixon said the three people seen on CCTV could help with their inquiries.

Det Insp Dixon said: "While a man has been charged and remanded into custody in relation to this matter, we are urging them to come forward as soon as possible.

"Anyone else who was in the Call Lane area at the time who saw anything suspicious is also asked to get in touch with the team."
