It's the latest in a spate of reported sex attacks in the country which has been rocked by a wave of assaults in Cologne.

Two 14-year-old boys and a 21-year-old man have been held in Weil am Rhein, a small town near the Swiss and German borders, for the suspected rape of a 14 and 15-year-old girl.

The girls were allegedly held for several hours and gang-raped after going to a New Year's Eve party at the home of a 21-year-old man in the village of Friedlingen.

The arrests only emerged last night, despite the suspects being in custody for several days.Prosecutors say they kept tightlipped to protect the victims' identities.
