Metropolitan Police have issued an appeal to help them identify a man in connection with a rape which happened in Tottenham in 2019.

A 19-year-old woman reported that she had been raped at an unknown address in N17 on 16th June, after travelling to there from Camden.

Officers from North Area’s Safeguarding Team launched an investigation, including carrying out CCTV and forensic enquiries. An image of the suspect was circulated on police systems but no match has been made.

The police have now issued an appeal to help them identify the man wanted in connection with the investigation.

Detective constable Iain McDonald, leading the investigation, said: “We have carried out extensive work to identify the person responsible for this crime but have so far been unable to trace him.

“We are now urging the public to look at this image and see if they recognise the man we need to speak to. Any small piece of information could be the breakthrough we are hoping for.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 with reference 1986/16JUN19.
