Officers were called to South Beach Parade, in the Norfolk seaside resort, at 12.37am on Saturday following reports that two girls had been raped.

Police are trying to identify and find a second suspect.

He is described as being a white man with short dark hair, dark facial hair, aged in his 30s or 40s. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark green jacket with a white stripe on both sleeves.
