Gt Milton Rape: Police Seek Driver (Status: Press Release)

THAME Police are repeating their appeal for witnesses following the report of a rape in Great Milton on Wednesday afternoon (31/10), with the release of new information.
Det Sgt Alan Clements from Thame CID said: ?This attack occurred as Halloween celebrations were starting. We believe there may have been parents with their children out trick-or-treating in the village at the time of the attack.
?Were you out with your children in Great Milton at around 5pm? If so, please get in touch.
?Also, a man was seen sitting in a light-coloured people-carrier parked near the churchyard at 4pm. We would like to appeal for him to come forward because he may have vital information.?

Local Neighbourhood Inspector, Jim O?Ryan added: ?We are taking steps to reassure the local community in Great Milton and nearby villages and will be increasing high visibility patrols.
?Our officers will be out and about in Great Milton this evening (02/11), two days on from the time of the attack to reassure residents and to answer to the best of their ability any questions they may have.
?While the incident may be worrying for some, I would like to highlight that this sort of attack is very rare, particularly in an extremely low crime area like South Oxfordshire.?
