Appeal for witnesses following rape

Hello Resident,

We are appealing for witnesses following a rape of a woman in her thirties in Beresford Park between 1-1.30am yesterday. 

The offender is described as mixed race, with a Romanian or Turkish accent, around 5ft 6ins tall, with short brown hair, and a short brown beard and moustache. He may have been wearing a grey tracksuit and had a silver bicycle with him.

We appreciate this rape will cause concern but we do not believe there is any risk to the wider public. We are carrying out a thorough investigation and have put appropriate safeguards in place, including having extra police officers on patrol in Reading town centre last night and tonight. Please speak to a uniformed officer if you have any concerns. 

We also had a scene in place at Beresford Park but this now been stood down.

Anyone with information should call 101 or make a report on our website, quoting 43250402375. 

Kind regards,
