POLICE are searching through 150 tons of rubbish at a tip looking for evidence after what is believed to have been a case of male rape.
Three men carried out a serious sex attack on a 32-year-old man in Scarborough town centre, North Yorkshire, earlier this week and Detective Inspector David Hunt said "This was a horrendous attack on a lone man in the early hours of the morning."
Task force officers from Scarborough and York are searching for a piece of clothing which was swept up by an early morning road sweeper in St Thomas Street.
