🚔 TRANS PENNINE TRAIL RAPE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AS SAFETY WALK TAKES PLACE TODAY

South Yorkshire Police are continuing their investigation into the rape of a woman on the Trans Pennine Trail near Bolton-upon-Dearne. The attack happened at around 2:50pm on Wednesday 4 November on a section of the trail between Mexborough Road and Harlington Road. Detectives are now appealing for dashcam footage from Harlington Road, Furlong Road, Westfield Lane and surrounding roads from that afternoon. Cyclists and residents with bicycle cameras, doorbell cameras or other footage are also being urged to check their recordings. The suspect is described as tall and stocky and was wearing a dark jumper, black gloves and a black face covering. He is believed to have spoken with a southern accent. A community Women's Safety Walk is taking place today in response to the attack. The walk leaves Lowfield Lane in Bolton-upon-Dearne at 4:30pm and will follow part of the Trans Pennine Trail. Organisers say the event is intended to show solidarity with the victim, bring the community together and encourage women to continue using the trail. Members of Barnsley and Rotherham councils are also expected to attend.
