RESOURCES are being stepped-up across BCP after a girl was raped in the water off Bournemouth beach. Bournemouth Police and BCP Council have announced that they will be increasing high-visibility patrols across the beach in the following days and months. The victim, a 15-year-old girl, was with her friends - on Sunday, July 18 - playing with a ball when it landed in front of a teenage boy. The boy eventually threw it back to one of the group and then began talking to the victim, before pulling her out deeper into the sea where it is reported that he raped her.
