PSNI OFFICERS ARE investigating a report of sexual assault by two males on a woman in Co Tyrone yesterday.

The alleged assault occurred in an area of Cookstown known as Monkey Lane at around 2am on Saturday morning.

It was reported that two males approached the woman in the Monkey Lane area. The two males are reported to have carried out “a series of serious sexual assaults” on the woman, which left her badly shaken but not physically injured, police said.
