Six people arrested on suspicion of raping a young woman at Bluewater have had their bail extended again.
The alleged victim, aged in her 20s, reported being attacked by a group of seven men between 6.30pm and 9pm on Mother's Day last year.
She said she was waiting for a bus when she was bundled into a van and subjected to a three-hour attack.
Ten suspects arrested in connection with the alleged rape on March 6 had been released on bail until last month. Four were released without charge and the others were re-bailed until last Friday.
Now the remaining suspects - three men aged 18, two aged 20, and a 16-year-old boy - have had their bail extended until Saturday, March 4.
Police confirmed at the time of the arrests that all of the suspects were from Kent.
