CCTV to help rape investigation

Police have released an image of a man they are keen to speak to in connection with a rape.

Police received the report last November that a 30-year-old woman was raped at a hotel in Seaton Burn.

The incident happened between 3am and 6am, on Sunday, November 10, in a room at the Holiday Inn, Seaton Burn.

Officers are keen to speak to the man in the CCTV, or anyone who recognises the man, as he may have vital information to assist with enquiries.

Detective Inspector Paul Race, from Northumbria Police's Rape Investigation Team, said: "We would ask anyone who recognises this man to contact police as he may be able to help with our investigation. We continue to support the victim and our officers are investigating all lines of enquiries."

Anyone who with information is asked to contact police on 101 ext 69191 or ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
