Guernsey Police have sent two officers to Jersey to help in an ongoing rape investigation in the island.
A teenager reported being raped at Gorey on Halloween, and three weeks on police in Jersey are still looking for the alleged attacker.
They say they don’t have “any clear suspect” in the ongoing investigation as they try to track down a driver spotted in the Gorey area on Halloween, who may have “key information” relating to the incident.
The teenage girl said she was raped whilst waiting at a bus stop on Halloween night, and the investigating officers, assisted by two from Guernsey, are now appealing for the hatch-back driver to come forward in the hope they have information which will aid the investigation.
