Detectives investigating a rape in south London have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to.

An investigation was launched on Friday, April 25 last year following reports that a woman was raped inside a property in Tulse Hill, Lambeth.

The victim continues to be supported by specialist officers and partner agencies, Met Police said.

Police have now released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to as part of their ongoing enquiries.

The image shows a man with dark hair and a dark beard wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans and black and white trainers.

Detective Superintendent Chris Heathcote: “From the moment this was reported, detectives have carried out a wide range of enquiries, including speaking with witnesses in the area and reviewing CCTV to identify a suspect.

“These enquiries have been in parallel with the support specialist officers have given to a woman, along with our partner agencies.

“We understand the strength it takes for someone to report a sexual offence to us and remain committed to investigating violence against women and girls with the utmost sensitivity and diligence.

“As part of our enquiries for this investigation, we are now in the position to release an image of a man, who we believe can assist us.

“I urge anyone who may recognise him or have any further information which could assist the investigation to contact us.”

Anyone who may recognise him, or have any information is asked to contact 101 quoting ref 01/7419053/25 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
