Police have released a new image of the two men they want to trace following the ‘traumatic’ rape of a woman in Tottenham.

Scotland Yard detectives have today issued an image of two men they would like to find following the victim’s ordeal – as her attacker and his accomplice have not been caught.

The victim, aged in her 30s, was approached by two men in West Green Road, Tottenham, at 3am on June 25, 2022.

They walked to Houghton Road together before the victim was raped by one of the men.

The other stood and acted as a look-out, Metropolitan Police say.

The offence was reported to police and officers quickly attended to the scene and spoke with the victim. 

An image and a reconstruction of the incident have now featured on the BBC’s Crimewatch Live programme in the hopes that someone will come forward with information that can help with the investigation

The first man was described by the victim as being inebriated. 

He was also described as being possibly Asian or Turkis, and around 5ft 8inches tall with a stocky build. He was wearing a grey hoodie.

Met Police say he was described to have thick, tidy black beard and did not speak with an English accent.  

The second man was also described as being possibly Asian or Turkish, being around 5ft 8ins tall, with a slim build. 

He had an oval, slim face with short receding hair and a light brown short beard. He was wearing a black jumper. He stood nearby whilst the victim was attacked.

More than eight months have passed since the victim’s ordeal, and the pair have not been tracked down yet.

Following this, an image and a reconstruction of the incident have now featured on the BBC’s Crimewatch Live programme in the hopes that someone will come forward with information that can help with the investigation. 

Meanwhile, cops have confirmed that the woman is being supported by specially trained officers.

Police have also confirmed that they are continuing to conduct a number of enquiries into the offence.

Detective Sergeant Pembe Rayif, from North Area’s Safeguarding Team, said: ‘This was a traumatic ordeal for the victim and we are doing everything we can to support her and bring the perpetrator to justice.

‘We are very keen to speak to the men in the CCTV images we have released and we would ask anyone who can identify them to come forward.’
