The Cambridgeshire Serious Sexual Offences Unit have joined forces with Fenland Police to track down what is described as a young man aged about 18 who was wearing a black jacket who raped a woman in her 30’s in North Drive park.

The incident happened at about 8.50pm on Sunday (6), Mother’s Day, by a bench in the park, known locally as Wigstone’s park.

The woman, who it is believed had not lived in March for long, had been walking home from a friend’s house when she walked down Wigstone’s Road, into Nene Parade and across the bridge when she lost her way and asked the young man for directions.

She asked him for directions and he raped her near the bench in the park.

The incident is believed to have lasted for about five minutes. He then ran off but it is not known in which direction.

The victim alerted a passing group of people who stayed with her while they called police.

Anybody with information should call 101 and quote reference CF0095150316 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
