Cleveland: A woman in her late 30’s was raped in front of her toddler, for nearly five to seven hours in a car on the seafront in Redcar, Cleveland, reports The Independent.
A Cleveland Police spokesman said the woman and the toddler were near a boating lake when the dark-coloured saloon car drove towards them along a ramp.
The two men forced the mother and child get into the back of the vehicle, which was driven to Yearby, on Longbeck Lane, off the A174, where the woman was raped.
Temporary Detective Chief Inspector Matt Murphy-King said: "This has been a very traumatic ordeal for the victim and her child. Thankfully, incidents of this nature are rare and this is an isolated incident”.
“There are a team of detectives working on this investigation and we have increased patrols in the local area. Redcar seafront is a busy area and, as a precaution, I would encourage anyone in the local area to be extra vigilant”, Murphy-King said.
Meanwhile, the officials are appealing to anyone who may have seen two men in a dark saloon in the area of the seafront around the time of the incident.
