Reform UK leader Nigel Faraj had earlier called the police verdict not to publish it “cover-up”.
Men are allegedly Afghan on suspicion of rape. The UK leader of the Warwickshire County Council alleged that he was a shelter. The police have not confirmed this.
Asked if they feel that such information should be in the public domain, Yett Cooper told the BBC: “We want to see more transparency in matters, we feel that the local people need more information.”
On Monday, Faraj said that he believes that such details should be released.

Speaking to the BBC breakfast on Tuesday, Cooper said: “It is an operational decision on how much information can be shown in the middle of live investigation but we want to see more transparency.”
Later he told the Today’s Today’s Today’s Today: “We think guidance needs to be changed”.
He said that the government had asked the Law Commission – an independent body that reviews laws in England and Wales – what information can be released around “what are the rules” to speed up a review and when during a legal case.
“We are working with college college and on strengthening and changing their guidance,” he said.
There are two people accused of crime in Warwickshire: Ahmed Mulkhil, who has been accused of two rape cases; Mohammad Kabir, who has been accused of kidnapping, strangling and raping a girl under the age of 13.

He said that he would not get speculation about the personal circumstances of the people involved while the court proceedings were active.
The Law Commission is reviewing what information or opinion someone should be able to publish it lawfully after a suspect is arrested.
Following a government request, it has agreed to speed up its reporting on some parts of the review that relates to the government and law enforcement, which can compete to combat misinformation, where public orders to fail to do so are the results.
In March, an independent watchdog concluded that failure to share basic facts about Southport Killer gave birth to “dangerous stories”, helping riots spark.
Jonathan Hall Casey, an independent reviewer of UK of Terrorism Act, said it would be “far better” for the authorities to share more accurate details on the arrest of Axle Rudakubana on July 29 last year.
He said that the police, prosecutors and the government “ineffective” after the attack, spread the riots widely in the days after the attack.
