Detectives are urging the residents in Orford to keep windows and doors locked after a woman was raped in her own home.
Officers were called to an address in Orford Lane at 5.30am on Sunday, October 2.
Officers found that an unknown man had entered the house and then raped the female occupant, who had been asleep.
Superintendent Evans added: “Thankfully, attacks such as these are extremely rare – nevertheless, I would urge residents to be vigilant and make sure their homes are well secured.
“I hope that our large police presence in the area will reassurance those in the local community that we are working tirelessly to find the man responsible, and I would urge anyone who or information that may help us to speak to an officer.”
