DETECTIVES investigating the rape of an 18-year-old prostitute are renewing their appeal for witnesses.
The attack took place in Middlesbrough in the early hours of Wednesday, July 24, but despite releasing an e-fit of the man they are hunting, officers have received only a handful of calls from the public.
"Officers are anxious to get as much information as possible from members of the public," said a Cleveland Police spokeswoman.
"Anyone in the area at the time who saw a man and young girl together is asked to come forward."
The uniformed man, posing as a police officer, attacked the girl, just off Newport Road, near the Charlie Brown garage, at about 2.30am.
He was described as white, good looking, with a tanned complexion and short, dark hair, which was brushed forward. He was aged between 27 and 40, 5ft 10in tall and of medium build.
Anyone with information should call police on (01642) 303126.
