OLDBURY — Police are appealing for witnesses and offering a £20,000 reward for information after a woman in her 20s was raped in the Tame Road area of Oldbury on Tuesday, 9 September, at around 8.30am.
Chief Superintendent Kim Madill of Sandwell Police confirmed that officers have been working tirelessly on the investigation, reviewing CCTV, examining forensic evidence, and talking to potential witnesses.
Detectives are specifically looking to speak with anyone who saw two white men in the area around the time of the attack. One man is described as having a shaved head, a heavy build, and was wearing a dark sweatshirt and gloves. The second man was reportedly in a grey top with a silver zip.
Police patrols have been increased in the area and will continue for the foreseeable future. The force is also working with community leaders and women’s charities to address concerns about women’s safety.
The charity Crimestoppers, which is independent of the police, is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for any information they receive exclusively that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Anyone with information can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
