Police are investigating reports that a teenage girl was raped at T in the Park after ‘spending the night in a dance tent’.

It is understood the 18-year-old was attacked at the festival in Perthshire, Scotland, on Thursday night and forensic teams have conducted inquiries at the scene.

The teenager is believed to have spent the night in the festival’s Slam Tent, a dance arena that has been a staple since 1997.

One fan told the Daily Record she saw officers investigating a tent in the campsite at the Strathallan Castle estate on Friday.

She said: ‘The police were focusing their attention on a specific area and this was on Friday morning. I was told there had been a report of a rape, but that was all.

‘No one officially said anything, and it make my skin crawl to think that someone could have carried out this attack and then just carried on partying at the festival.’

Police Scotland has confirmed it is investigating and that ‘inquiries are ongoing’.

It comes after the deaths of teenagers Megan Bell and Peter McCallum, both 17, at this year's festival, with both cases being treated as drug related.

T in the Park, which had around 80,000 customers this year, warned revellers not to take drugs just hours after the deaths were announced.

Officers also revealed they had recovered drugs similar to 'Green Rolex', which are often marketed as ecstasy but actually contain toxic chemicals.

A spokesman said: 'We have recovered a small number of Green Rolex-type pills at T in the Park and are warning festival goers to beware of any others that may be in circulation.

'Pills similar to these have caused serious harm in the past although there is no evidence at present to link these to any other incidents at the festival.

'We want to remind people there is no safe way of taking drugs and T in the Park has a zero tolerance drugs policy.'
