Rotterdam, Zuiderpark - ROTTERDAM - The police have opened a large-scale investigation into a serious sex offence against a 20-year old woman from Rotterdam in Zuiderpark, close to Zuiderpark Promenade West, shortly before 5.30 in the afternoon of Monday 7 September.
The victim was out running when she was forced into the bushes by two unknown, olive-skinned men. She was restrained there and subjected to a serious sexual offence. The men then ran away leaving the victim behind. The victim called a female friend in a highly emotional state. Her friend immediately alerted the police. Police officers went straight to the scene and found her near the corner of Groene Kruisweg and Pendrechtseweg. While a number of police officers attended to the woman, the area was combed and forensic investigators searched for traces with a tracker dog. CCTV footage has also been secured.
