Detectives investigating the rape of a woman in Tottenham have appealed to the public for help finding two men.

The victim was approached by two men on West Green Road at around 3am on Saturday, 25th June 2022. They walked towards Houghton Road before she was raped by one of the men while the other acted as a look-out. Both men then walked towards West Green Road.

The offence was reported to police, leading officers to attend the scene and speak with the victim. The woman is now being supported by specially trained officers.

An image and reconstruction of the incident has now featured on BBC’s Crimewatch Live in a call out for witnesses.

Detective sergeant Pembe Rayif, from North Area’s Safeguarding Team, said: “This was a traumatic ordeal for the victim and we are doing everything we can to support her and bring the perpetrator to justice.

“We are very keen to speak to the men in the CCTV images we have released and we would ask anyone who can identify them to come forward.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or Tweet @MetCC quoting reference CAD 1632/25JUN22.

Alternatively, witnesses can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
