POLICE are appealing for help in tracing two men who raped a 31-year-old woman at a Kent railway station in view of CCTV cameras.

The offence happened shortly after 10.15pm on Saturday, September 24, at Margate train station.

The victim, who lives in the Dover area, was waiting for a train to Ramsgate. The men alighted from a train going in the opposite direction.

They engaged the woman in conversation and in the five minutes while there was no one on the platform held her down on a bench and raped her.

They then left the station through a side gate and sauntered along the seafront, still in view of CCTV all the way until the clocktower. They then vanished into the night.

The men are of Eastern European appearance and spoke in a foreign language the victim did not recognise.

Anyone who recognises the men is asked to call British Transport Police's witness appeals line on 0207 3915275.
