Police hunt man after woman is ‘raped in own flat’
Police are looking for a man who allegedly entered a woman’s flat and raped her.
The Metropolitan Police have released an image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the alleged rape, which is said to have taken place in Beckenham.
Police were called to Worsley Bridge Road at around 4:30am on Saturday August 20 after a woman reported a man had entered her flat and raped her.
Officers are now asking for the public’s help in identifying a man they would like to speak to in order to progress their investigation.
Detective Constable Sue Windsor, from the Met’s Public Protection Command, said: “This was a horrific attack on a woman in her own home, a place where she should feel safe.
“We are doing everything we can to try and find the person responsible and would ask anyone who recognises the man in the photo to call us or Crimestoppers as soon as possible.
“Tackling all forms of violence against women is one of our top priorities in the Met and we take all reports of this nature extremely seriously.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the police on 101 with CAD reference 1373/20AUG22 Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.
