They said the girl was being safeguarded and supported by officers. The arrested men were from the town.
Two men, aged 18, and a 21-year-old have been arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual activity with a child.
A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of rape, arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence, and arson.
An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence.
All those arrested were in police custody, except for the 25-year-old, who has been bailed.
