Police have appealed to the public to help find “a person interest” in their investigation of the abduction and rape of a woman earlier this year.

“Preliminary investigation reveals that on Saturday September 30, the victim was travelling by taxi to Bloekombos. On the way, the driver drove in the direction of Bottelary Road where he assaulted the victim, raped her and left her naked in the bushes,” said provincial police spokesman, Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi. “She later managed to walk to a nearby restaurant, where the personnel assisted her with transport to Kraaifontein SAPS, where she reported her ordeal.”

Anyone with information can call the investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Vatishwa Tsotso, on 082 522 1039 or Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
