Officers investigating a rape, which happened in Telford during the early hours of Saturday 18 July, have today released an artist's impression of a man they are keen to speak to.
Detective Chief Inspector Tom Harding said: "We've released several images in relation to this investigation; if you recognise any of these people please call us immediately.
"I'd also encourage anyone to contact us if they have suspicions about someone they know. Has someone you know been acting differently or suspiciously? It might be nothing, but it might be a vital piece of information that helps us to catch this dangerous individual."
The attack took place on Saturday 18 July at around 3.30am on Wrockwardine Wood Way under the bridge between Wombridge Road and New Road.
The victim had been out with friends at the Industry nightclub in Oakengates. She left at around 2.40am and headed in the direction of the bus station.
Witnesses reported seeing a male walking behind the victim from the bus station and along the Stafford Road. He is described as being a white male, aged between 15-30, around 5'10" tall, of slim to medium build and wearing dark trousers and a dark top, possibly with a hood. Did you see this man or did see anyone acting suspiciously in the area?
Officers have previously released CCTV images of two people who may have seen something that could be vital to the investigation.
The first shows a man on a bike in the area around the time of the incident. This image was captured on the junction of Slaney Street and Stafford Road in Oakengates. Were you out on your bike or do you know someone who was out on their bike between 2-4am on Saturday 18 July morning? The second image shows a male at the same location walking away from the town centre at 3.20am.
If you have any information that may help police with their enquiries please call 101 and quote incident 133s of 18 July 2014. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org
