Police Hunt Man In Connection With Sex Attack
Police are appealing for information following a sexual assault on a young woman in her home.
The incident happened in the early hours of Sunday morning at a private house in Harris Street in Darlington.
The seventeen-year-old girl was on her own in the premises when she was woken by a disturbance.
The girl was then threatened and subjected to the ordeal. The girl is said to be extremely distressed but otherwise unhurt.
Police say the intruder is white, around 5ft 7in tall, with collar-length hair and spoke with a local accent. He wore a light coloured, hooded top and blue jeans.
Detective Chief Inspector Mick Nail said: "We have yet to establish how this man got inside the house and how long he was there for. This must have been a terrifying experience for the victim and even though it happened in the early hours of the morning, I am hoping there may have been people around who saw a man matching this description."
Police have been conducting house-to-house enquiries and have asked anyone with information to call 0845 6060 365.
