Police interview 200 people in bid to trace Dundee sex attacker

Police in Balunie Crescent.

Police in Dundee have interviewed more than 200 people in a bid to track down a man who sexually assaulted a woman in her own home.

Police Scotland issued a fresh appeal for information on Friday, nearly two weeks after the assault occurred in the Douglas area of the city.

Between the hours of 10.30 and 11.30am on Saturday October 19, a man forced his way into a flat in Balunie Crescent and subjected a 32-year-old woman to a serious sexual assault.

The man was wearing a black coloured tammy style hat, a black scarf and a black tracksuit and spoke with a local accent.

A dedicated team of both uniformed and detective officers is still working on this inquiry.

Detective Inspector Marc Lorente, who is heading up the inquiry, said: “This was a horrendous ordeal for a young woman to have experienced and it’s critical we trace this man.

“I would like to reassure the community that our officers are doing everything they can to find the person responsible.

“We have already spoken with more than 200 people and officers are reviewing hours of CCTV footage recovered in the area.

“We are continuing to identify a number of people and vehicles in the street and we would appeal to those who have been in the area between 10.30 and 11.30am on Saturday October 19 to come forward if we have not yet spoken with you.”

“Additional uniformed officers continue to patrol the area for reassurance. Please feel free to approach these officers with any concerns you may have.”

Anyone with information that could assist officers is asked to call Police Scotland’s Tayside headquarter via 101.

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
