Police are investigating two reports of sexual assault at this year's Download rock festival.

The alleged assaults, which police said were not linked, were reported to Leicestershire Police during the rain-drenched three-day festival, which concluded on Sunday.

Two men who were arrested following the reports have been released from custody but remain under investigation, a force spokeswoman said.

In all, the force has recorded 90 crimes as having been committed during the Donington Park even, which drew crowds in excess of 90,000.

Thefts from tents accounted for 29 of those while there were 32 'thefts from the person' - typically committed by sneak thieves operating in the close confines of the main arena.

A spokeswoman said a a total of 14 people were arrested over the course of the event, including the two sexual assault suspects.

Five of these are being investigated for alleged drug dealing, while three people who were detained for possession of drugs were dealt by 'community resolution'.

There were no arrests over the thefts.

One person is also under investigation for allegedly flying a drone over the site - an incident which the nearby East Midlands Airport said had caused two flights to be delayed.
