Police hunting the fluoro-vested intruder who raped a young mother in her Sockburn flat last week are speaking to ex prison inmates and known sex offenders.
The woman, in her 20s, was at home with her seven-month-old baby last Tuesday morning when the man knocked on the door and duped his way into her Middlepark Rd flat saying he was inspecting storm damage in the area.
Detective Senior Sergeant Darryl Sweeney told The Star the week-long investigation involving a "core team" of 10 was working all shifts, with extra staff assigned daily to general inquiries.
"The investigation team are reviewing a range of possible suspects including prison releases, those on parole and known sex offenders," he said.
"We are continuing to speak to persons of interest and eliminate them from the investigation."
